Overview: Guidance and Control of Unmanned Vehicles demonstrates how the developed guidance laws can be applied to a wide class of unmanned vehicles, including aerial, ground, water, and underwater vehicles. Drawing upon the author’s innovative approach and new research, this new edition presents a rigorous theory of guidance based on the parallel navigation rule and formulates an expanded guidance problem and guidance laws that can be applied to all unmanned vehicles. The book also discusses the obstacle avoidance problem for unmanned vehicles, and avoidance algorithms. Readers will learn how to choose optimal parameters of guidance laws based on the Lyapunov-Bellman approach. It also includes a new chapter on the role of unmanned vehicle operators. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent the fastest-growing and the most dynamic growth segment within the aerospace industry. The rapidly increasing fleet of UAVs, along with the widening sphere of their applications, puts new problems before their designers. Although now unmanned aerial vehicles are used mostly in military applications (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions and combat operations—strike missions, suppression and/or destruction of enemy and its facilities), their future potential civil applications are enormous (e.g., border patrol, forest fire monitoring and firefighting, and nonmilitary security work, such as surveillance of industrial sites and road/rail infrastructure, mineral exploration, coastal surveillance, pipeline surveillance, spraying of fertilizers and insecticides, aerial photography, land mapping, environmental monitoring, transportation, and gathering scientific data). This book will interest scientists, industry researchers, and practicing engineers working on the performance of various unmanned vehicles. It can serve as a basis for several graduate courses in the fields of electrical, mechanical, aerospace, and computer engineering.
