Abstract In this paper, based on the integral sliding mode method and adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) algorithm, a robust optimal tracking control scheme is presented for near space hypersonic vehicle (NSHV) system in the presence of unknown modeling error, external disturbance, and input saturation. Firstly, combining neural network, auxiliary system and integral sliding mode methods, an adaptive integral sliding mode control (AISMC) law is designed to guarantee system trajectories tend to a defined integral sliding surface and the effects of modeling uncertainty, external disturbance, and control input saturation are eliminated. Then, the robust optimal tracking control problem of original system is converted into the optimal control problem of a nominal system, and an ADP method with single critic network is utilized to acquire the corresponding optimal controller. Furthermore, Lyapunov analysis method shows that the overall control input which contains AISMC law and optimal controller can ensure all the signals in closed-loop system are stable in the sense of uniform ultimate boundedness (UUB). Finally, simulation results about attitude flight control of NSHV are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
