Powerline Perching with a Fixed-Wing UAV
Small and micro UAVs have enabled a number of new mission capabilities, including navigating in and around buildings and performing perch-and-stare surveillance. However, one of the primary limitations of these small vehicles is endurance, simply because they cannot carry sufficient power for long missions. Recent advances in fixed-wing perching have made it possible to consider a new solution ...
متن کاملExperiments in Fixed-Wing UAV Perching
High-precision maneuvers at high angles-of-attack are not properly addressed by even the most advanced aircraft control systems. Here we present our control design procedure and indoor experimental results with a small fixed-wing autonomous glider which is capable of executing an aggressive high angle-of-attack maneuver in order to land on a perch. We first acquire a surprisingly accurate aircr...
متن کاملOn Constrained Nonlinear Tracking Control of a Small Fixed-wing UAV
The problem of constrained nonlinear tracking control for a small fixedwing unmanned air vehicles (UAV) is considered. With the UAV equipped with lowlevel autopilots, the twelve-state model of the UAV is reduced to a six-state model with heading, air speed, and altitude command inputs. Three different approaches based on the state dependent Riccati equation (SDRE), Sontag’s formula, and aggress...
متن کاملVision Based Obstacle Detection mechanism of a Fixed Wing UAV
In this paper we have developed a vision based navigation and obstacle detection mechanism for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) which can be used effectively in GPS denied regions as well as in regions where remote controlled UAV navigation is impossible thus making the UAV more versatile and fully autonomous. We used a fixed single onboard video camera on the UAV that extracts images of the env...
متن کاملTarget Tracking Based on a Nonsingular Fast Terminal Sliding Mode Guidance Law by Fixed-Wing UAV
This paper proposes a modified nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode (NFTSM) guidance law to solve the problem of ground moving target tracking for fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in a planar environment. Firstly, the loitering algorithm is analysed, which can steer the UAV to follow and circle around a ground moving target with the desired distance by heading angle control. Secondly,...
