For years, the Remotely Piloted Vehicle and Micro-Satellite Laboratory (RMRL) of National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) have conducted low cost UAV researches. The SWAN UAV project in RMRL has so far completed beyond visual range (BVR) flight. The SWAN UAV is equipped with the altitude hold, heading hold capability, but yet to have an autonomous take off and landing system. As a preliminary effort, this research designed a controller of a computer aided autonomous landing control system for UAV. The term “computer aided” is defined as that the longitudinal control is autonomous and the lateral control is manual. This is a preliminary effort of the development of a fully autonomous landing system in the future. To accomplish this, analyses were conducted to understand the behavior of SWAN UAV during landing, discrete dynamic model of the UAV was derived from test flight data by using Observer Kalman Identification Method (OKID), and the controllers for both approaching and flare phases were designed by using the classical PID control theory. The designed landing longitudinal controllers were then verified in a computer simulation conducted by using Simulink.
