Integral adaptive autopilot for spatial maneuvering of an unmanned aerial vehicle (2022)



Areas of Application

The device is designed for being used in the systems for automatic fl ight control of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), in the creation of new and the upgrade of existing autopilots for UAVs


Specification
The UAV autopilot provides a high dynamic accuracy in the implementation of complex trajectories with signifi cantly curved sections of maneuvering in the vertical and horizontal planes. The UAV control system has been synthesized on the basis of essentially nonlinear dynamic systems of equations; the calculation of roll and pitch errors, the calculation of banktoto-turn maneuver; the formation of the dynamics of virtual control of roll, yaw, and pitch; the adjustment of the defl ection angle of the ailerons, rudder, and altitude control


Advantages

  • Mutual use of various UAV control channels;
  • cross-connections and compensation of mutual influence between control channels;
  • improvement of the accuracy and reliability of the implementation of complex spatial flight trajectories; 
  • quick adaptation to signifi cant changes in altitude and fl ight speed;
  • maneuvering in vertical and horizontal planes with substantially curved sections; 
  • an increase in the number and improvement of efficiency of alternative traffic planning options
