Composite Continuous High-Order Nonsingular Terminal Sliding Mode Control for Flying Wing UAVs with Disturbances and Actuator Faults

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Flying wing UAVs are widely used in both civil and military areas and they are vulnerable to being affected by multi-source disturbances and actuator faults due to their unique aerodynamic configuration. This paper proposes composite continuous high-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode control controllers for the longitudinal command tracking control of flying wing UAVs. The proposed method guarantees not only the finite-time convergence of command tracking errors, but also the continuity of control actions. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
