Abstract

The unmanned aerial vehicle guidance is very significant nowadays. Guidance of unmanned aerial vehicle generates commands to and controls the attitude to follow the reference trajectory. This paper presents a new guidance of unmanned aerial vehicle using virtual instrumentation technique. LabView is a system design platform and development environment for a visual programming language from national instruments and provides a virtual environment to guide the UAV in terms of bank angle and aileron angle. Aileron angle control the UAV roll degree of freedom and bank angle. In this method the guidance is considered under the atmospheric disturbance especially wind and. Aileron angle is used to direct the UAV against the wind. The gain of the system can also be controlled. Manual and automatic control of this vehicle is alsopossible.
