Since the late 1990's, has developed, amongst many of the NATO countries, a strong interest in developing Micro Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV's) in enhancing the situation awareness on the battlefield in order to improve the accuracy of weapons targeting, and to aid war fighters in the pursuit of tactical missions on the ground. It is the desire to develop a viable cost-effective overall system design for accomplishing this goal. For example, future Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) concepts in concert with autonomous guidance and control operational scenarios significantly increase the regional functionality, while opening the design trade (performance specifications) space compared to existing military systems. The complexity of future NANO UAV's control systems require that control system design engineers must, at the onset of the design process, be aware of the essential aspects involved in achieving a successful and a practical control system design and be aware of the associated computer computational requirements.. That is: factors such as functional requirements, performance specifications, dynamic model(s), control authority allocation, control system design, simulations, engineering visualization, interactive simulation, hardware-in-the-loop simulation/implementation, and system test. This lecture series is an excellent forum to present state-of-the-art system, design method, and the computational concepts on some or all of these factors.
