Abstract

Pendant le retour de coque et le fonctionnement dans un mode de réglage de cap, le système de commande de l'engin divulgué reçoit des indications d'un cap d'engin cible et d'un cap d'engin observé. Des modes de réalisation comprennent la détermination du fait que la différence de cap est supérieure à un seuil, la détermination d'un réglage de commande fixé à l'aile ajusté pour affecter un changement du cap observé de l'engin sur la base d'au moins (a) des conditions environnementales détectées, (b) le réglage de commande fixé à l'aile initiale, (c) le cap de l'engin cible, et (d) le cap de l'engin observé ; et le fonctionnement d'un ou de plusieurs éléments de commande fixés à l'aile selon le réglage de commande fixé à l'aile ajusté pour modifier le cap observé de l'engin au cap de l'engin cible. Après avoir déterminé que la différence de cap n'est pas supérieure à la différence de cap seuil, le réglage de commande fixé à l'aile est ajusté pour empêcher un changement supplémentaire du cap observé de l'engin.
