Abstract:
In recent years Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) has become a significant segment of the aviation industry. They can be chosen to be designed as fixed wing or Rotary wing type. Fixed-wing aircraft has the performance of fast forward movement, long range and superior endurance due to its gliding capabilities with no power. Unlike the fixed wing models, rotary wing mini-copters are able to fly in all directions, hover in a fixed position with minimal space for takeoff and landing. This makes them the perfect instrument for detailed inspection work or surveying. Implementing a hybrid UAV has the advantages of both fixed-wing and rotary wing UAV. This paper aims to brief on the design, development and testing of a hybrid tilt body UAV with four rotors. The hybrid vehicle comprises two units, an aerial unit and a ground unit. The aerial unit consists of an unmanned aircraft system. The ground unit consists of means to view and post-data processing of video/image sent by the UAV if it is used for aerial surveillance and control, navigate and guide the aircraft. To proceed, a novel hybrid UAV with capability of Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) and horizontal flight is developed and its response during the transition from VTOL to horizontal flight is analyzed.

Abstract:
In this paper, a nonlinear flight control law is designed for a hybrid unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to achieve the advanced flight performances with the autonomous mission management (AMM). The hybrid UAV is capable of hovering like quadrotors and maneuvering as fixed-wing aircraft. The main idea is to design the flight control laws in modules. Those modules are organized online by the autonomous mission management. Such online organization will improve the UAV autonomy. One of the challenges is to execute the transition flight between the rotary-wing and fixed-wing modes. The resulting closed-loop system with the designed flight control law is verified in simulation and the simulation results demonstrate that the resulting closed-loop system can successfully complete the designated flight missions including the transition flight between the rotary-wing and fixed-wing modes.

Abstract:
Rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are widespread in both the military and civilian applications. However, there are still some problems for the UAV design such as the long design period, high manufacturing cost, and difficulty in maintenance. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel design method to obtain a lightweight and maintainable UAV frame from configurable design to detailed design. First, configurable design is implemented to determine the initial design domain of the UAV frame. Second, topology optimization method based on inertia relief theory is used to transform the initial geometric model into the UAV frame structure. Third, process design is considered to improve the manufacturability and maintainability of the UAV frame. Finally, dynamic drop test is used to validate the crashworthiness of the UAV frame. Therefore, a lightweight UAV frame structure composed of thin-walled parts can be obtained and the design period can be greatly reduced via the proposed method.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This project concerns motion planning for a rotary wing UAV, where vehicle controllers are already in place, and map data is readily available to a collision detection module. In broad terms, the goal of the motion planning algorithm is to provide a safe (i.e. obstacle free) flight path between an initial- and goal waypoint. This project looks at two specific motion planning algorithms, the Rapidly Exploring Random Tree (or RRT*), and the Probabilistic Roadmap Method (or PRM). The primary focus of this project is learning how these algorithms behave in specific environments and an in depth analysis is done on their differences. A secondary focus is the execution of planned paths via a Simulink simulation and lastly, this project also looks at the effect of path replanning. The work done in this project enables a rotary wing UAV to autonomously navigate an uncertain, dynamic and cluttered environment. The work also provides insight into the choice of an algorithm for a given environment: knowing which algorithm performs better can save valuable processing time and will make the entire system more responsive.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: ’n Tipiese vliegstuuroutomaat is daartoe in staat om ’n onbemande lugvaartvoertuig (UAV) so te stuur dat ’n stel gedefinieerde punte gevolg word. Die punte moet egter vooraf beplan word, en indien enige verandering nodig is (bv. as gevolg van veranderinge in die omgewing) is dit nodig dat ’n menslike operateur betrokke moet raak. Vir voertuie om ten volle outonoom te kan navigeer, moet die voertuig in staat wees om te kan reageer op veranderende situasies. Vir hierdie doel word kinodinamiese beplanningsalgoritmes en konflikdeteksiemetodes gebruik. Hierdie projek behels kinodinamiese beplanningsalgoritmes vir ’n onbemande helikopter, waar die beheerders vir die voertuig reeds in plek is, en omgewingsdata beskikbaar is vir ’n konflikdeteksie-module. In breë terme is die doel van die kinodinamiese beplanningsalgoritme om ’n veilige (d.w.s ’n konflikvrye) vlugpad tussen ’n begin- en eindpunt te vind. Hierdie projek kyk na twee spesifieke kinodinamiese beplanningsalgoritmes, die “Rapidly exploring Random Tree*” (of RRT*), en die “Probabilistic Roadmap Method” (of PRM). Die primêre fokus van hierdie projek is om die gedrag van hierdie algoritmes in spesifieke omgewings te analiseer en ’n volledige analise te doen op hul verskille. ’n Sekondêre fokus is die uitvoering van ’n beplande vlugpad d.m.v ’n Simulink-simulasie, en laastens kyk hierdie projek ook na die effek van padherbeplanning. Die werk wat gedoen is in hierdie projek stel ’n onbemande helikopter in staat om outonoom te navigeer in ’n onsekere, dinamiese en besige omgewing. Die werk bied ook insig in die keuse van ’n algoritme vir ’n gegewe omgewing: om te weet watter algoritme beter uitvoertye het kan waardevolle verwerkingstyd bespaar, en verseker dat die hele stelsel vinniger kan reageer.

Abstract:
This thesis presents an integrated framework for online obstacle avoidance of rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which can provide UAVs an obstacle field navigation capability in a partially or completely unknown obstacle-rich environment. The framework is composed of a LIDAR interface, a local obstacle grid generation, a receding horizon (RH) trajectory optimizer, a global shortest path search algorithm, and a climb rate limit detection logic. The key feature of the framework is the use of an optimization-based trajectory generation in which the obstacle avoidance problem is formulated as a nonlinear trajectory optimization problem with state and input constraints over the finite range of the sensor. This local trajectory optimization is combined with a global path search algorithm which provides a useful initial guess to the nonlinear optimization solver. Optimization is the natural process of finding the best trajectory that is dynamically feasible, safe within the vehicle's flight envelope, and collision-free at the same time. The optimal trajectory is continuously updated in real time by the numerical optimization solver, Nonlinear Trajectory Generation (NTG), which is a direct solver based on the spline approximation of trajectory for dynamically flat systems. In fact, the overall approach of this thesis to finding the optimal trajectory is similar to the model predictive control (MPC) or the receding horizon control (RHC), except that this thesis followed a two-layer design; thus, the optimal solution works as a guidance command to be followed by the controller of the vehicle. The framework is implemented in a real-time simulation environment, the Georgia Tech UAV Simulation Tool (GUST), and integrated in the onboard software of the rotary-wing UAV test-bed at Georgia Tech. Initially, the 2D vertical avoidance capability of real obstacles was tested in flight. Then the flight test evaluations were extended to the benchmark tests for 3D avoidance capability over the virtual obstacles, and finally it was demonstrated on real obstacles located at the McKenna MOUT site in Fort Benning, Georgia. Simulations and flight test evaluations demonstrate the feasibility of the developed framework for UAV applications involving low-altitude flight in an urban area.

Abstract:
Simple, cheap and reliable echo-based ultrasonic ranging systems such as the Polaroid ranging unit are easily applied to indoor applications. However, to measure the range between an unmanned helicopter and a moving ship deck at sea using ultrasound requires a more robust ranging system, because rushing air and breaking water are known ultrasound noise sources. The work of designing, constructing and testing such a system is described in this dissertation. The compact, UAV ready ultrasound transmitter module provides high power, broadband arbitrary signal generation. The separate field-ready receiver is based on a modern embedded Digital Signal Processor (DSP), providing high speed matched-filter correlation processing. Large time-bandwidth signalling is employed to maximise the signal to noise ratio of the ranging system. Synthesised experiments demonstrate the ability of the correlation processing to reliably recover timing from signals buried in noise. Real world experiments demonstrate decimetre accuracy with two centimetre resolution, ten metre range and 32Hz refresh rate. A maximum boresight range of up to 38m is supported.

Abstract:
The development and induction in-service of Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV) systems in a variety of civil, paramilitary and military roles have proven valuable on high-risk missions. These UAVs based on fixed wing configuration concept have demonstrated their operational effectiveness in recent operations. New UAVs based on rotary wing configuration concept have received major attention worldwide, with major resources committed for its research and development. In this thesis, the design process of a rotary-wing aircraft was re-visualised from an unmanned perspective to address the requirements of rotary-wing UAVs - Vertical Take-off UAVs (VTUAV). It investigates the conventional helicopter design methodology for application in UAV design. It further develops a modified design process for VTUAV addressing the requirements of unmanned missions by providing remote command-and-control capabilities. The modified design methodology is automated to address the complex design evaluations and optimisation process. An illustration of the automated design process developed for VTUAVs is provided through a series of inputs of the requirements and specifications, resulting in an output of a proposed VTUAV design configuration for

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Development of Fault Detection and Diagnosis Techniques with Applications to Fixed-wing and Rotary-wing UAVs Ling Ma Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD), as the central part of a Fault Tolerant Control System (FTCS), detects and diagnoses the source and the magnitude of a fault when a fault/failure occurs either in an actuator, sensor or in the system itself. This thesis work develops an applicable procedure for a FDD scheme to both fixed-wing and rotary-wing UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) in the discrete-time stochastic domain based on the Kalman filter techniques. In particular, the proposed techniques are developed in highly nonlinear and 6 degree-of-freedom equations of Matlab/Simulink simulation environment for a quad-rotor helicopter UAV, a Boeing 747, and a NASA Generic Transport Model (GTM) fixed-wing UAV. A key development in this thesis is that an Adaptive Two-Stage Extended Kalman Filter (ATSEKF) algorithm and a Dual Unscented Kalman Filter (DUKF) algorithm are applied for simultaneous states and fault parameters estimation of these UAVs. The statistical decision-making techniques for fault detection and diagnosis are also discussed in the presence of partial faults in the UAVs. The measured system outputs and control signals are used as inputs of the ATSEKF and DUKF, and the estimated states and parameters are used for comparison and analysis in the fault detection and diagnosis. The simulation results show that the effectiveness and performance of ATSEKF and DUKF for the purpose of fault detection and diagnosis of both fixed- and rotary-wing UAVs are satisfactory.

Abstract:
Small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can provide facilities in various applications. Compared with single UAV system, small UAVs based cooperative UAV system can bring advantages such as higher efficiency and safety. Therefore, it is necessary to design a robust multi-agent cooperative flight controller to coordinate a group of small UAVs for stable formation flights. This paper investigates the problem of consensus-based formation control for a multi-UAV system. Firstly, We choose a simplified model with nonholonomic constraints for UAV dynamics. Secondly, using the algebraic theory and backstepping technique, we design consensus protocols for multi-UAV systems under the strongly connected topology. Then based on that, we propose a multi-UAVfromation control strategy. Finally, we extend our results to the directed topology case which is still effective by simulation.

Abstract:
A propulsion system of the CRW (Canard Rotor Wing) type UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) was composed of the turbojet engine, exhaust nozzles including some tip jet nozzles and a main nozzle and the duct system including straight ducts, curved ducts and master valve. The CRW type UAV has three different flight modes such as the rotary wing mode for take-off and landing, the high-speed forward flight mode with the fixed wing and the transition flight mode between the previously mentioned two flight modes. In order to evaluate transient performance characteristics of the CRW type UAV propulsion system during flight mode transition, the propulsion system was modeled using SIMULINK®, which is an user-friendly GUI type dynamic analysis tool provided by MATLAB, in this study. Considering area variation of the master valve and the main exhaust nozzle simulated the transition flight mode between the rotary wing mode and the fixed wing mode. In order to verify acceptability of the main turbojet engine model, performance simulation results using SIMULINK® were compared with results using the commercial program GSP. Moreover the performance characteristics of the propulsion system were investigated depending on position angle variation of the master valve at both the rotary wing mode and the fixed wing mode. In the transient performance behaviors at the rotary wing flight mode, the more turbine inlet temperature over shoot occurs and the net thrust at tip jet nozzles, decreases rapidly at initial condition then increase fast to the converged steady-state condition. Therefore, the fuel throttle should be slowly performed for safe operation of engine. During flight mode transition from the rotary wing mode to the fixed wing mode, rotary duct pressure was fell down to atmospheric pressure, but main duct pressure was mostly kept due to very small friction loss. Total net thrust was oscillatory increased. During flight mode transition from the fixed wing mode to rotary wing mode, rotary duct pressure was rapidly increased, but main duct pressure was mostly kept. Total net thrust also was oscillatory decreased. Through this investigation, it was found that severe thrust fluctuation should be considered for safe flight during flight mode transition even though operation of the master valve is slowly scheduled. Therefore a solution for improving the thrust oscillation will be suggested later.
