Variance Constrained Vibration Control of Morphing Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (TUAVs)

Öz

In this study, using dynamic model of passive and active morphing featured Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (TUAV) called as ZANKA III which is produced in Erciyes University, Faculty of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Model Aircraft Laboratory, under the TUBITAK ARDEB 1001 program and designing Output Constrained Variance Controller for aircraft tracking the desired trajectory achieved with minimal vibration and minimum energy consumption. For this purpose, using MATLAB, in the simulation environment, studies have been performed and closed loop responses have been obtained. Longitudinal motion is in primary interest, desired output is pitching angle of TUAV, and desired input is elevator angle.

Variance Constrained Vibration Control of Morphing Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (TUAVs)

Abstract

In this study, using dynamic model of passive and active morphing featured Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (TUAV)  called which is produced in Erciyes University, Faculty of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Model Aircraft Laboratory, under the TUBITAK ARDEB 1001 program and designing Output Constrained Variance Controller for aircraft tracking the desired trajectory achieved with minimal vibration and minimum energy consumption. For this purpose, using MATLAB, in the simulation environment, studies have been performed and closed loop responses have been obtained. Longitudinal motion is in primary interest, desired output is pitching angle of TUAV, and desired input is elevator angle.
