Reduced-order model for UAV
UAV Toolbox / Algorithms
The Guidance Model block represents a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) guidance model that estimates the UAV state based on control and environmental inputs. The model approximates the behavior of a closed-loop system consisting of an autopilot controller and a fixed-wing or multirotor kinematic model for 3-D motion. Use this block as a reduced-order guidance model to simulate your fixed-wing or multirotor UAV. Specify the ModelType to select your UAV type. Use the Initial State tab to specify the initial state of the UAV depending on the model type. The Configuration tab defines the control parameters and physical parameters of the UAV.
