Communication is vital in order to coordinate rescue and clean up efforts should an event eliminate the most common infrastructure, such a cell tower and phone lines, in a region. One of the most effective ways to set up an alternative communication system without relying on traditional methods would be to attach a temporary system to airships floating above the region. However, an inherent problem with airships is keeping them in the desired area with the correct orientation. This paper compares two different airship control methods, namely fuzzy logic and classic controllers, to navigate the balloon while hovering over a region in order to reestablish communication. A dynamical model of the airship in the presence of air friction is shown, and simulations are done using MATLAB Simulator.
