ADAPTIVE CONTROLLER COMPOSITION FOR VERTICAL CHANNEL OF SMALL DRONES

Abstract

The paper presents the results of building an adaptive controller using the
gradient velocity method for the vertical channel of UAV-70V. The results of
the computer survey using Matlab-Simulink tools show that the effectiveness
of the adaptive controller ensures the accuracy and stability of the UAV-70V.
In conditions of wind disturbance, the adjustment error is small, the settling
time is fast, the angle of attack is stalled and the vertical overload is within the
allowable limits, thus expanding the operating range of the UAV.
