Control Algorithm for the Inertial Stabilization of UAVs

The UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) are aircraft used in applications that requires great capacities to operate in harsh environments. They include efficient tools to support the development, security and defense of a country. To guide the navigation while generating the route and stabilization of these vehicles, a control algorithm is applied in order to direct and stabilize the aircraft. A generic control system to drive the aircraft is used which considers electronic, mechanical and aeronautical aspects for their operation. The unmanned aircrafts need a navigation system that must be designed using variant or invariant time control methods that must be efficient in their operation. This work shows the results of the application of a control algorithm that includes an inertial platform with a GPS actualization to navigate and control the unmanned aircraft. The designed system was tested considering different weather conditions in the free space, which shows satisfactory results that predicts their future use. The hardware and software of the stabilization system of the aircraft is a result of the Ecuadorian researchers team work.
