Abstract: Abstract This paper addresses the generation of dangerous disturbances in problems of aircraft control. The method is based on the construction of repulsive disturbances in linear differential games using a dynamic programming approach. The computation involves solving a large number of linear programs. For this purpose, a fast algorithm efficiently working in low dimensions is proposed. Several examples of constructing dangerous disturbances are given. First, a simple linear differential game is considered to demonstrate the main features of the method. Second, a linearized model of the longitudinal motion of an aircraft is considered. The model includes flight and servomechanism dynamics, pilot and disturbance inputs, and a controller supporting the piloting process. This model is investigated in two setups: as a control law clearance problem and as a conflict control task. Third, a common nonlinear model of aircraft dynamics with reference to flight in a vertical plane is considered, and the problem of takeoff in wind shear conditions is addressed. For all above-listed problems, simulations showing the efficiency of the constructed disturbances are presented.
