RESEARCH ON SYNTHESIZING SLIDING MODE CONTROLLER FOR AERIAL VEHICLE WITH INTEGRATED GUIDANCE AND CONTROL SYSTEM

Aerial vehicles with capability of attacking and destroying aerial targets are being produced and utilized by many countries around the world. This article proposes a new integrated guidance and control system for aerial vehicle based on Sliding Mode Guidance and Control (SMGC) to enhance the quality of the control loop and to be applied to modern aerial vehicle with high maneuverability. The article compares the SMGC system with the conventional system that uses separated guidance and control loops (SMG-SMC), and evaluates the advantages, disadvantages, quality, and accuracy of the newly synthesized integrated system. The results of article indicate that the integrated system utilizing sliding control demonstrates superior quality and significant advantages when approaching highly maneuverable targets. It exhibits lower miss distance and less fluctuation in rudder angle deviation compared to conventional guidance and control systems.
