Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of non-cooperative ground target tracking using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs). A segment guidance law and a heading rate control law are proposed to achieve the tracking. Firstly, the model of the problem is established. Exposure avoidance and minimizing the exposure time are studied respectively in terms of the initial state of the UAV. Secondly, the proposed approach is proved to be successful in dealing with the problem. Finally, theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
