“…However, due to the lack of the guidance subsystem, the control lag caused by the large inertia of UAV cannot be solved. Line of sight (LOS) guidance is the most widely used among guidance methods due to its simplicity and ease of implementation and many control strategies combined with LOS has been proposed to meet various practical needs, including unmanned surface vehicle (Jiang et al, 2020; Liu et al, 2015; Rout et al, 2020; Woo et al, 2019) underwater vehicles (Sahu and Subudhi, 2017; Wang et al, 2020) and unmanned aerial vehicle (Chen et al, 2016; Chen et al, 2019; He et al, 2017; Hu et al, 2020; Wang et al, 2019; Zheng and Zou, 2016; Zuo et al, 2019), these LOS-based control strategies can compensate for control lag, but the optimized indicators are generally designed as the shortest settling time and the minimum path deviation, which inevitably leads to overshoot of the following path. This paper therefore introduces a novel guidance and control system based on the IPSO algorithm, the LOS guidance law and the PI controller, which can meet the needs of fast non-overshoot control.…”
