Abstract
In this study for a tactical unmanned aerial vehicle
(i.e., TUAV) which has piston-prop powerplant system, both lower and upper
chord lengths of its vertical tail plane and PID controller gains of its hierarchical
autonomous trajectory tracking system are simultaneously and stochastically
redesigned by using a constrained and stochastic optimization approach called
as c-SPSA in order to minimize cost of this UAV dynamical system. The principal
design parameters are lower and upper chord lengths of this TUAV’s vertical
tail plane in this study. As a result of this while other parameters of the
vertical tail are fixed, the surface area of the vertical tail can be varied.
In addition, controller gains of the 6 PID controllers for hierarchical
autonomous control system are other stochastical optimization design
parameters. In this study there are both lower and upper constraints on these 8
optimization parameters. As a result of mentioned simultaneous and stochastical
design and optimization methodology considerable controller cost save is
obtained with respect to the initial situation. This work has been supported by
