Abstract
In this paper, nonlinear sliding mode controller is used in coordination with lookahead-based steering guidance law to simulate the autonomous maneuvering capabilities of a nonlinear, coupled, six degrees of freedom stratospheric airship model. The closed-loop simulation results are presented which signify the robustness of the sliding mode based controller in achieving the commanded maneuver in the presence of modeled uncertainties and wind disturbances.

Nonlinear parameter estimation of airship using modular neural network

TL;DR: The estimated nonlinear airship parameters are found to be consistent with the DATCOM parameter values which were used for open-loop simulation, which validates the proposed methodology and could be extended to estimateAirship parameters from real flight data.

Fault-tolerant Reconfiguration Controller Design for Intelligent Unmanned Airship with Control Surface Failures

TL;DR: For an intelligent unmanned airship equipped with multiple propellers, a reconfiguration scheme is proposed based on the pseudo-inverse method to deal with actuators faults based on a general model of the actuator-input encountered with faults.
