Özet

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.
