A combined control method integrating Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control (LADRC) and Sliding Mode Control (SMC) is proposed to mitigate model uncertainty and external disturbances in the attitude control of fixed−wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). First, the mathematical and dynamic models of a small fixed−wing UAV are constructed. Subsequently, a Linear Extended State Observer (LESO) is designed to accurately estimate the model uncertainties and unidentified external disturbances. The LESO is then integrated into the control side to enable the SMC to enhance the control system’s anti−interference performance due to its insensitivity to variations in−system parameters. The system’s stability is proven using the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, simulations comparing the classical LADRC and the newly developed SMC−LADRC reveal that the latter exhibits strong robustness and anti−interference capabilities in scenarios involving model uncertainty, external disturbances, and internal disturbances, confirming the effectiveness of this control method.
