Klappentext zu „Fault-tolerant Flight Control and Guidance Systems “
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer an incomparable means of gathering intelligence and carrying out missions without needing an onboard human pilot. The benefits are considerable in terms of cost, efficiency, and reduced pilot risk.In order to complete a mission efficiently and with a high level of safety and security, the following key design points must be met:
- the flight control system must be robust against the aircraft's model uncertainties and external disturbances;
- an efficient fault detection and isolation (FDI) system should be capable of monitoring the health of the aircraft; and
- the flight control and guidance system should be reconfigurable depending on actuator fault occurrence or aircraft damage, and should be able to avoid obstacles.
Fault-tolerant Flight Control and Guidance Systems addresses all of these aspects with a practical approach following three main requirements: being applicable in real-time; highly computationally efficient; and modular. The text provides:
- an overview of fault-tolerant flight control techniques;
- the necessary equations for the modeling of small UAVs;
- a complete nonlinear FDI system based on extended Kalman filters; and
- a nonlinear flight control and guidance system.
The book is written in a didactic style with many figures and diagrams making it suitable not only for academic researchers and practicing engineers but also graduate students working in the fields of fault detection techniques and the automatic control of UAVs.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer a means of gathering intelligence and carrying out missions. The benefits are considerable in terms of cost, efficiency, and reduced pilot risk.
To complete a mission efficiently and with a high level of safety and security: the flight control system must be robust against model uncertainties and external disturbances; an efficient fault detection and isolation system; the flight control and guidance system should be reconfigurable depending on actuator fault occurrence or aircraft damage, and able to avoid obstacles.
This book addresses all of these aspects with a practical approach following three main requirements: applicability in real-time; computational efficiency; and modularity. The text provides: an overview of fault-tolerant flight control techniques; the necessary equations for the modeling of small UAVs; a complete nonlinear fault detection and isolation system based on extended Kalman filters; a nonlinear flight control and guidance system.

Autoren-Porträt von Guillaume J. J. Ducard
Between 2002 and 2004, Guillaum Ducard worked with the team designing the Pac-Car 2, designing hardware and control software for embedded fuel cell systems. The vehicle holds the world record for fuel economy. Since 2004, Doctor Ducard has been interested in hardware and software for unmanned aerial vehicles including fixed-wing aeroplanes, high-altitude atmospheric air ships and quadricopters. He received his Dr.Sc. degree from ETH in 2007. His current research involves the design of navigation algorithms, flight control and guidance systems for quadricopters. Guillaume Ducard is a member of the IEEE and of the AIAA.
