This paper presents a sliding mode based longitudinal guidance scheme for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). A nonlinear sliding surface is proposed here for altitude control of UAVs. Longitudinal guidance law based on traditional linear sliding surface cannot provide good performance for both large and small errors in altitude, hence a non-linear surface is proposed here. The proposed sliding surface gives good performance in level cruising as well as during climb/decent phase. The Proposed guidance scheme is implemented on a 6-degrees-of-freedom (6-dof) nonlinear simulation of a UAV, and different scenarios of climb, decent and level cruise phase is simulated.

Nonlinear Guidance of Aircraft Formations Tekinalp, Ozan (null; 2015-01-05) Nonlinear formation flight control algorithm for a pair of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is proposed. The leader-follower approach to formation flight is adopted. The leader maintains a prescribed trajectory while the follower is controlled to track and maintain a fixed relative distance from its leader. Two nonlinear guidance algorithms, Lyapunov and State Dependent Ricatti Equation, (SDRE) based are proposed for the relative guidance of the follower UAV. The resulting formation control systems are tested...
Coordinated guidance for multiple UAVs Cakici, Ferit; Ergezer, Halit; Irmak, Ufuk; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2016-05-01) This paper addresses the path planning problem of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The paths are planned to maximize collected amount of information from desired regions (DRs), while avoiding forbidden regions (FRs) and reaching the destination. This study focuses on maximizing collected information instead of minimizing total mission time, as in previous studies. The problem is solved by a genetic algorithm (GA) with the proposal of novel evolutionary operators. The initial populations are generat...
Autonomous quadrotor flight with vision-based obstacle avoidance in virtual environment Eresen, Aydin; Imamoglu, Nevrez; Efe, Mehmet Onder (Elsevier BV, 2012-01-01) In this paper, vision-based autonomous flight with a quadrotor type unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is presented. Automatic detection of obstacles and junctions are achieved by the use of optical flow velocities. Variation in the optical flow is used to determine the reference yaw angle. Path to be followed is generated autonomously and the path following process is achieved via a PID controller operating as the low level control scheme. Proposed method is tested in the Google Earth (R) virtual environment fo...
Online path planning for unmanned aerial vehicles to maximize instantaneous information Ergezer, Halit; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2021-01-01) In this article, an online path planning algorithm for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has been proposed. The aim is to gather information from target areas (desired regions) while avoiding forbidden regions in a fixed time window starting from the present time. Vehicles should not violate forbidden zones during a mission. Additionally, the significance and reliability of the information collected about a target are assumed to decrease with time. The proposed solution finds each vehicle’s path by s...
Interactive approaches for bi-objective UAV route planning in continuous space Türeci, Hannan; Köksalan, Murat; Tezcaner Öztürk, Diclehan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2017) We study the route planning problem of unmanned air vehicles (UAVs). We consider two objectives; minimizing total distance traveled and minimizing total radar detection threat since these objectives cover most of the other related factors. We consider routing in a two-dimensional continuous terrain, in which we have infinitely many efficient trajectories between target pairs. We develop interactive algorithms that find the most preferred solution of a route planner (RP), who has either of the underlying pre...
