Abstract

This paper presents sliding mode based lateral control for UAVs using piecewise linear sliding surface. A single linear surface is replaced by piecewise linear sliding surface to ensure the performance during small track errors or divergence and a bounded heading error in the case of large track error, thus avoiding the actuator saturations. Stability of the proposed sliding surface is analyzed with piecewise analytical solution of the proposed sliding surface. The proposed scheme uses only the readily available sensor information that is lateral track error and heading error angle and no succeeding mission information are required here. The proposed scheme is implemented on the 6-degrees-of-freedom (6-dof) simulation and different cases of large and small track errors are simulated in the presence/absence of wind to successfully validate the proposed control scheme.
