“…For newcomers to the field of unmanned aircrafts it may be confusing with the terms: UAV and UAS; while sometimes they are used to give the same meaning [3], other times they used to give different meanings [1]. In this research UAS is used to indicate the combination of Aircraft which is called UAV, the Avionics, the telecommunication system, and the monitoring station in ground.…”

“…In this research UAS is used to indicate the combination of Aircraft which is called UAV, the Avionics, the telecommunication system, and the monitoring station in ground. In fact there are many names for unmanned aircraft systems such as: not crewed aerial vehicle, unmanned autonomous vehicle, unmanned airborne vehicle and others [3]; but in this research just UAV and UAS will be used to clear any confusion.…”

“…8-Altimeter sensor to measure altitude. Autopilot is expected to read the sensors data such as GPS and Gyroscope in real-time in order to get the attitude of the vehicle; then it is supposed to send correction commands to drive servo motors which control the UAV airframe motion [3]. Autopilot design process plays an essential role in Unmanned Aerial vehicle industry, this process normally takes a significant amount of time and cost, the autopilot design process involves algorithm design.…”

Abstract-Many recent papers have been written in unmanned aerial systems (UAS) autopilot designing for fixed wing aircraft, in addition to vertical takeoff and landing aerial vehicles such as helicopter and quad-copters. The process of designing such a system needs great facilities, great cost, and has a significant risks of crashes. This paper introduces PID-based (proportional, integral, and derivative) autopilot design using Matlab\Simulink modeling to reduce design cost and time; in addition to minimizing risks. The PC/104 board was used as the hardware for the system. This paper assured the validity, simplicity, and time efficient of PID-based design, and the significant reduction of cost and effort in autopilot design using the Software in Loop (SILS) and Hardware in Loop simulations (HILS). Indexed terms-PC/104, HILS, SILS, PID controller, fixed wings aircraft.

“…Surface vehicles, aircraft and marine craft use proportional guidance laws to accomplish desired motion control scenario such as object tracking, path following, path tracking and path maneuvering; see Fossen (2009), Fossen (2011), Lekkas and Fossen (2013), and Yanushevsky (2011) for instance. For three degreesof-freedom (DOF) path-following applications, the control objective is to follow a predefined planar path without needing to set time constraints.…”

This paper presents a uniform semiglobal exponential stability (USGES) proof for a class of proportional line-of-sight (LOS) guidance laws used for vehicle path-following control. The LOS guidance law under consideration is a lookahead-based guidance law for marine craft. The USGES proof extends previous results that only guarantee global κ-exponential stability. Typical applications are marine craft and aircraft motion control systems for path following where the total system is a cascade of the motion controller and guidance law error dynamics.

“…In the literature they are classified as RPA (remotely piloted aircraft), AAV (autonomous aircraft vehicles), and so on [2][3][4][5][6]. A UAV is defined as an aerial craft, flying without human crew on-board; it can be remotely controlled or fly autonomously [6,7]. Over the past three decades, the popularity of UAV or UAS (unmanned aerial systems-in 2005, the U.S. Department of Defense, DoD, started defining them as "flying systems") has kept growing at an unprecedented rate.…”

SMA-Based System for Environmental Sensors Released from an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

et al. 2017

Abstract:In the work at hand, a shape memory alloy (SMA)-based system is presented. The system, conceived for releasing environmental sensors from ground or small unmanned aerial vehicles, UAV (often named UAS, unmanned aerial system), is made of a door, integrated into the bottom of the fuselage, a device distributor, operated by a couple of antagonistic SMA springs, and a kinematic chain, to synchronize the deployment operation with the system movement. On the basis of the specifications (weight, available space, energy supply, sensors size, etc.), the system design was addressed. After having identified the main system characteristics, a representative mock-up was manufactured, featuring the bottom part of the reference fuselage. Functionality tests were performed to prove the system capability to release the sensors; a detailed characterization was finally carried out, mainly finalized at correlating the kinematic chain displacement with the SMA spring temperature and the supplied electrical power. A comparison between theoretical predictions and experimental outcomes showed good agreement.
