Increase maneuver performance of high speed UAV

Flight simulation of high speed UAV by using autonomous control system that is related to auto take off and auto pilot by way points system had completed and succeeded with integrated HILS facility that had been developed previously. In this simulation, the ability of bank-to-turn controls the vehicle that reached 30 deg within speed of 250 km/h. However, the flight maneuver led to a rounding trajectory which was quite large and less effective. This research discusses the effort in maximizing control technology to gain the minimum time in reaching target, which is by combining maneuver strategy and vehicle speed. The result is time reduction by 23.6% of the reaching target, from 427 secs to 326 secs for 4 way points. Also, a very smooth maneuver and speed control in every flight condition reduce energy use significantly. Moreover, the maneuver successfully reaches the target accurately with target missing range below 80 m.
