Abstract
Systems and methods provide for the evaluation of flight controls for an aerial vehicle and define a vehicle dynamics model corresponding to an aerial vehicle. One or more barrier functions are constructed based on the defined vehicle dynamics model, and candidate invariant sets are identified for the defined vehicle dynamics model using the one or more barrier functions. A plurality of flight controls of the aerial vehicle are analyzed using the identified candidate invariant sets and within the analyzed candidate invariant sets, command tracking of the aerial vehicle is confirmed with control commands, using the analyzed plurality of flight controls. Control commands falling outside of the analyzed candidate invariant sets are identified.
