Modeling and Control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

In recent times the environment is much flooded with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and it has been a subject of great interest for researchers because of its varied applications like capturing images, doing surveillance, monitoring terrorist activities and certain space related missions. In this paper control of Vertical Take-off Landing (VTOL) vehicle is discussed. It is observed that the contemporary UAVs need an efficient and better control of the aircraft. The aforesaid objective is achieved through the analysis of VTOL aircraft, which is a non linear system is further used for application of Adaptive Filter control (AFC) strategy with filter and gain variation. The results obtained from the simulations are compared with SMC which shows the perfect tracking of position and velocity.
