Robust Discrete-Time Flight Control of UAV with External Disturbances

This book studies selected discrete—time flight control schemes for fixed—wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems in the presence of system uncertainties, external disturbances and input saturation. The main contributions of this book for UAV systems are as follows: (i) the proposed integer—order discrete—time control schemes are based on the designed discrete—time disturbance observers (DTDOs) and the neural network (NN); and (ii) the fractional—order discrete—time control schemes are d...
