Abstract:

This article investigates event-triggered model-free adaptive sliding-mode heading control issues for unmanned surface vehicles with dual-channel denial of service (DoS) attacks and bounded disturbances. Initially, we establish a redefined output. Meanwhile, we establish a virtual linear data model based on the redefined output and pseudo-partial-derivative technology. In addition, to reduce the effects of the external disturbance, we introduce the sliding mode control method to enhance the system's robustness against disturbances. Then, an event-triggered communication scheme is developed to reduce the waste of communication resources. Two compensation schemes are formulated to eliminate the effects of dual-channel DoS attacks. So, the main contributions of the presented method are the enhancement of accuracy, reduction of computational burden, and increased robustness, all of which are demonstrated in the simulation section.
