This paper focuses on the MANN-based intelligent adaptive fault tolerant control for a class of launch vehicles. Firstly, the attitude dynamic model of the launch vehicles suffering from the actuator faults and disturbances has been formulated. Secondly, the second-order disturbance observer has been designed for the launch vehicle to achieve the exact estimation and compensation of the time-varying disturbances. Meanwhile, the MANN has been introduced as online approximator, suppressing the adverse influence of the unknown nonlinearities. Moreover, several adaptive laws have been proposed to achieve the quick response to the actuator faults and the update of the MANN weights. As a result, the MANN-based intelligent adaptive fault tolerant control structure has been constructed for the launch vehicles. It has been proven that all the signals in the closed-loop system are bounded. Simulation results demonstrate the desired performance and the advantages of the proposed control algorithm.
