Polar Converting Logic of Bank-To-Turn with Skidding for Small Size UAV

Abstract

In this paper, polar converting logic of bank-to-turn with skidding is provided for small size UAV. In general, original polar converting logic has problems of singularity, safety and flight data analysis when acceleration commands diverge at the end of terminal guidance. To solve those problems, new methodology of polar converting logic of bank-to-turn with skidding is presented. It can easily solve singularity problem, increase safety and provide intuition of data analysis. Simulation and flight results are presented to verify proposed polar converting logic for bank-to-turn with skidding method.
