UAV Flight Control System Based on an Intelligent BEL Algorithm

A novel intelligent control strategy based on a brain emotional learning (BEL) algorithm is investigated in the application of the attitude control of a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in this study. The BEL model imitates the emotional learning process in the amygdala‐ orbitofrontal (A‐O) system of mammalian brains. Here it is used to develop the flight control system of the U...

PID Parameter Optimization of an UAV Longitudinal Flight Control System

In this paper, an automatic control system design based on Integral Squared Error (ISE) parameter optimization technique has been implemented on longitudinal flight dynamics of an UAV. It has been aimed to minimize the error function between the reference signal and the output of the plant. In the following parts, objective function has been defined with respect to error dynamics. An unconstrai...

Reliability Synthesis for UAV Flight Control System

This paper presents the models and methods for reliability synthesis for components of UAV flight control system: flight computer and navigation system. The developed reliability models depict different variants of faulttolerant designs including designes for systems with complex reliability behavior. They have a high level of adequacy, since effectiveness of detection and switching devices was...

Aiaa 2001–0016 Lateral Track Control Law for Aerosonde Uav

Aerosonde is a small autonomous aircraft (UAV) designed for meteorological sampling along a specified flight plan. This aircraft is currently being used by the Flight Systems Laboratory at the University of Washington as a test-bed for the development of a rapid control-law prototyping platform based on Matlab/Simulink/Real-Time Workshop environment. To accurately track a set of pre-planned fli...
