Autonomous Vehicle Technologies for Small Fixed-Wing UAVs
The objective of this paper is to describe the design and implementation of a small semiautonomous fixed-wing unmanned air vehicle. In particular we describe the hardware and software architectures used in the design. We also describe a low weight, low cost autopilot developed at Brigham Young University and the algorithms associated with the autopilot. Novel PDA and voice interfaces to the UAV...
متن کاملModel Predictive Control for a Swarm of Fixed Wing Uavs
This paper describes an algorithm for the control of a swarm of UAVs based on decentralized MPC. For each UAV, our algorithm first determines the trajectory taking into account the obstacles and the constraints on the aircraft performance. Then basing on a robust MPC algorithm, optimal guidance laws are calculated and tracked by the UAVs by means of local PIDs controllers. Our approach also all...
متن کاملCalculation and Identification of the Aerodynamic Parameters for Small-Scaled Fixed-Wing UAVs
The establishment of the Aircraft Dynamic Model(ADM) constitutes the prerequisite for the design of the navigation and control system, but the aerodynamic parameters in the model could not be readily obtained especially for small-scaled fixed-wing UAVs. In this paper, the procedure of computing the aerodynamic parameters is developed. All the longitudinal and lateral aerodynamic derivatives are...
متن کاملAn Innovative Mission Management System for Fixed-wing Uavs
This paper presents two innovative units linked together to build the main frame of a UAV Mission Management System. The first unit is a Path Planner for small UAVs able to generate optimal paths in a tridimensional environment, generating flyable and safe paths with the lowest computational effort. The second unit is the Flight Management System based on Nonlinear Model Predictive Control, tha...
متن کاملCurvature Continuous and Bounded Path Planning for Fixed-Wing UAVs
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) play an important role in applications such as data collection and target reconnaissance. An accurate and optimal path can effectively increase the mission success rate in the case of small UAVs. Although path planning for UAVs is similar to that for traditional mobile robots, the special kinematic characteristics of UAVs (such as their minimum turning radius) ha...
