Survey of model reference adaptive control

This paper presents the survey of latest research on Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC). Effort is to present state of the art, find challenges, limitations and further scope of research on MRAC. Due to recent orientation towards soft computing research, publications with fuzzy logic and neural network have accelerated. Considering this point a section has been allocated to it. A section of variable structure MRAC has been included as variable structure control (VSC) is considered to be recent potential area. Many advanced techniques in MRAC have been surveyed and compiled in paper. Founded with focus on flight control and other aerospace applications, now MRAC has been designed and implemented for diverse application. Different applications of MRAC also have been reviewed here.
