Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce a velocity control system for a leader-following UAV. We designed a whole guidance and control system; the guidance system using the pure pursuit guidance law, the attitude control system using the dynamic inversion with the two-time scale approach, and the velocity control system considering aircraft and engine dynamics. This paper concentrates on the velocity controller. The velocity controller with the proportional control or with the proportional-integral control will be introduced. Velocity controller gains determination method adapted for the aircraft and/or engine dynamics are discussed in this paper. Simulation results show that the proposed guidance and control system provides a good performance. Additionally, we will discuss the simulation case with large or small initial relative distance and with some measurement noise.
