“…The selection of individual design specifications within the standard and the choice of response type were guided by partially attended and moderate agility operational requirements. Optimization of the design parameters was performed using a quadratic programming approach, MATLAB, SIMULINK, and the MATLAB-based design package CONDUIT [15]. The design constraints and predicted pilot ratings for the aircraft in the hover trim/low speed operating regime are listed in Table 1.…”

“…The fitness criterion is fairly simple, but it should be possible to add further refinements in the design problem. Fitness could be defined by directly computing handling qualities metrics, similar to the NASA/Army code CONDUIT 8 . Also, the use of nonlinear simulations with the complete aircraft model during optimization would give a more accurate evaluation and thus might be preferable.…”

Public reporting bunten for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Robust Command Augmentation System Design Using Genetic Methods AUTHOR(S)G.D. Sweriduk, P.K. Menon, and ML. Stienberg PERFORMING ORGANIZATION NAME(S) AND ADDRESS(ES)Naval l Abstract This paper describes the use of a genetic search method in the design of a command augmentation system for a high-performance aircraft. A genetic algorithm is used in the design of H^ controllers for the longitudinal and lateral-directional channels by selecting the weighting functions. The integral of absolute value of error between the actual response and that of an ideal model is used as the fitness criterion, along with additional terms to penalize for cross-coupling between p s and ny, non-minimum phase behavior, and the closed-loop infinity-norm bound, y. Starting from an initial population of weighting functions, the algorithm generates new functions with the goal of improving the fitness. These controllers are then evaluated in a 6 degree-offreedom nonlinear model of the aircraft.

“…LQR (optimal control) [43] LQR control is applied to a quad-rotor UAV prototype for velocity and position control with the assistance of an indoor tracking system. H 1 (robust control) [12] H 1 -suboptimal controller is designed for the coupled MIMO attitude and heading dynamics, and further evaluated based on the selected handling qualities in CONDUIT [135] design environment.…”

This paper provides a brief overview on the recent advances of small-scale unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from the perspective of platforms, key elements, and scientific research. The survey starts with an introduction of the recent advances of small-scale UAV platforms, based on the information summarized from 132 models available worldwide. Next, the evolvement of the key elements, including onboard processing units, navigation sensors, mission-oriented sensors, communication modules, and ground control station, is presented and analyzed. Third, achievements of small-scale UAV research, particularly on platform design and construction, dynamics modeling, and flight control, are introduced. Finally, the future of small-scale UAVs' research, civil applications, and military applications are forecasted.
