A disturbance attenuation controller is presented for horizontal position stabilization for hover and automatic landings of a RUAV (Rotary-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) operating in rough seas. Based on a helicopter model representing aerodynamics during the landing phase, a nonlinear state feedback H controller is designed to achieve rapid horizontal position tracking in a gusty environment. The resultant control variables are further treated in consideration of practical constraints (flapping dynamics, servo dynamics and time lag effect) for implementation purpose. The high-fidelity closed-loop simulation using parameters of the Vario helicopter verifies performance of the proposed position controller. It not only increases the disturbance attenuation capability of the RUAV, but also enables rapid position response when gusts occur. Comparative studies show that the H controller exhibits great performance improvement and can be applied to ship/RUAV landing systems.
