PID Tuning for H1-UAV

Abstract

Autopilot systems have been vital to flight control for several years and have been making flight easier and more effective. Nevertheless, these autopilot systems are complex devices that demand exact control and stability. In this paper, design PID controller for higher order system to control pitch angle in longitudinal dynamic of the autopilot system for H1-UAV using MATLAB/SIMULINK and PID tuner toolbox. In addition to design an automatic pilot with Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) system. Also, we studied the effect of PID gains in the characteristics of the system. Finally the results had shown how PID controllers with good tuning enhance characteristics of the system.
