Flight control law evaluation for UAV based on simulated annealing algorithm

In this paper, the flight control evaluation technology based on simulated annealing algorithm is developed for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) which is very important for the safety and stability of the UAV flight in the large envelope range and the change of the predicted parameters. Simulated annealing algorithm is used in the develeped control law evaluation technology due to the characteristic of high computational efficiency and the ability to solve the high dimension problems. The problem of worst-case condition searching in UAV flight control law is solved, and then the flight control law evaluation for UAV is achieved. Simulation results show that the method of flight control evaluation technology based on simulated annealing algorithm is effective.
