In this paper, a three-dimensional (3-D) path-following control design for an underactuated stratospheric airship is proposed based on the parameterized path description. The desired attitude, velocity, and the path parameter updating law are obtained by employing the guidance-based path-following principle. The resultant system possesses a cascaded structure, which consists of a guidance loop, an attitude stabilization loop, and a velocity tracking loop. The stability analysis shows that the path-following error and all states of the closed-loop system are ultimately uniformly bounded. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
