Abstract	Dr. David B. Doman, Acting Director Control Science Center of Excellence AFRL Abstract Research has been conducted in three broad areas: 1) cooperative control of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), 2) dynamics and control of flapping-wing micro air vehicles (MAVs), and 3) control of airbreathing hypersonic vehicles. In the cooperative control effort, investigations have focused on the control of UAVs and other cooperative systems, with a strong emphasis on fundamental technical challenges. In the MAV initiative, investigations have focused on modeling a class of flapping wing aircraft using first principles, devising new control strategies, designing control configured MAVs, and testing control laws in flapping-wing MAV simulations as well as in bench test experiments. In the area of hypersonic vehicle control, the focus has been on developing extensions to adaptive control theory to allow the enforcement of state constraints within the adap¬tive control law and to improve the performance of systems that have both fast and slow modes.
