Nonlinear Control of Fixed-Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Agile Flight Control Techniques for a Fixed-Wing Aircraft

As unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) become more involved in challenging mission objectives, the need for agility controlled flight becomes more of a necessity. The ability to navigate through constrained environments as well as quickly maneuver to each mission target is essential. Currently, individual vehicles are developed with a particular mission objective, whether it be persistent surveilla...

Identification, Modeling and Control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

This paper presents a method to control height and speed of fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using MATLAB platform. The mathematical dynamic model of Six Degrees of Freedom (6-DOF) aircraft is nonlinear and it is linearized about a flight condition. System is divided into two Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) sub models. First model controls the longitudinal dynamics and second model is...

Evolutionary Coordination System for Fixed-Wing Communications Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

This document provides supplementary online material for the paper titled “Evolutionary coordination system for fixed-wing communications unmanned aerial vehicles” recently submitted to TAROS 2014. It mainly focuses on critical system components, namely the aerial vehicles kinematics model, link budget management and also addresses the issue of time synchronisation and algorithmic flow.
