Abstract: In this paper, a suboptimal nonlinear discrete control for nonlinear discrete affine systems is implemented in an autonomous soaring unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to improve energy consumption and performance. General expressions for this controller are obtained from the continuous nonlinear guidance model of a fixed-wing UAV and applied in a multiloop control structure. Simulation results in the task of trajectory tracking inside a thermal updraft and a comparative study with a proportional derivative (PD) controller validated the effectiveness of this method.
