Guidance and Control of Unmanned Vehicles demonstrates how the developed guidance laws for UAVs can be applied to a wide class of unmanned vehicles, including aerial, ground, water, and underwater vehicles. This new edition formulates an expanded guidance problem and guidance laws that can be applied to all unmanned vehicles.

Description

Guidance and Control of Unmanned Vehicles demonstrates how the developed guidance laws can be applied to a wide class of unmanned vehicles, including aerial, ground, water, and underwater vehicles.

Drawing upon the author’s innovative approach and new research, this new edition presents a rigorous theory of guidance based on the parallel navigation rule and formulates an expanded guidance problem and guidance laws that can be applied to all unmanned vehicles. The book also discusses the obstacle avoidance problem for unmanned vehicles, and avoidance algorithms. Readers will learn how to choose optimal parameters of guidance laws based on the Lyapunov-Bellman approach. It also includes a new chapter on the role of unmanned vehicle operators.

This book will interest scientists, industry researchers, and practicing engineers working on the performance of various unmanned vehicles. It can serve as a basis for several graduate courses in the fields of electrical, mechanical, aerospace, and computer engineering.

About the Author

Rafael Yanushevsky was born in Kiev, Ukraine, and received a BS degree in mathematics and an MS degree, with honors, in electromechanical engineering from Kiev University, Ukraine, and the Kiev Polytechnic Institute, Ukraine, respectively. He earned his PhD in optimization of multivariable systems in 1968 from the Institute of Control Sciences of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia. After immigrating to the United States in December 1987, Dr. Yanushevsky started teaching at the University of Maryland, first in the Department of Electrical Engineering, then in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He also taught at the University of the District of Columbia, in the Department of Mathematics. Since 1999, he has been involved in projects related to the aerospace industry. He received a letter of appreciation from the Department of the Navy, the Navy Area Theater Ballistic Missile Program, in 2002. He has published over 90 papers and six books, including Guidance of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (2011, CRC Press) and Modern Missile Guidance (2nd edition, 2019, CRC Press).
