Abstract :
This paper presents an adaptive disturbance rejection control architecture for a flying vehicle to track a maneuvering target using a monocular camera as a visual sensor. The derived guidance law is an acceleration command for the follower and enures range regulation with desired precision. Simulations illustrate the performance of the method
