| spelling | oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/11582 UAV collision avoidance: a specific acceleration matching approach Patel, Amir Winberg, Simon Electrical Engineering Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references. An increased level of autonomy is required for future Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) missions. One of the technologies required for this to occur is an adequate sense and avoid system to enable the UAV to detect threat aircraft and take evasive action if required. This thesis investigates a collision avoidance system to satisfy a significant portion of the requirements for sense and avoid. It was hypothesised that a recently published method of UAV guidance, Specific Acceleration Matching (SAM) Control, could address the shortcomings of the current implementations. Additionally, a novel algorithm, the Linear 3D Velocity Guidance Control Algorithm (3DVGC) was developed to address the particular requirements of UAV collision avoidance. 2015-01-06T18:41:43Z 2015-01-06T18:41:43Z 2011 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11582 eng application/pdf Department of Electrical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
