On new UAV flight control system based on Kalman & PID
Peng Zhang, Jikai Liu · 2011
Combining Kalman filter with PID controller is applied to design UAV (Unmanned Air Vehicles) formation flight control system which contains Kalman & PID controllers of speed and pitch angle for UAV. According to characteristic of UAV flight, the PID parameters were adjusted to realize control stability of UAV flight. The simulation results verify the validity and feasibility of the proposed method. Because of controlling quality deterioration caused by the detection signal polluted by the noise, it ensures the minimum overshoot in the control processing. In addtion, Kalman&PID control is superior in short transition, good stability, anti-disturbance, good control and etc. it also fulfills the requirement of real-time and accurate control.
