The problem of UAV trajectory tracking is a difficult issue for scholars and engineers, especially when the target curve is a complex curve in the three-dimensional space. In this paper, the coordinate frames during the tracking process are transformed to improve the tracking result. Firstly, the basic concepts of the moving frame are given. Secondly the transfer principles of various moving frames are formulated and the Bishop frame is selected as a final choice for its flexibility. Thirdly, the detailed dynamic equations of the moving frame tracking method are formulated. In simulation, a moving frame of an elliptic cylinder helix is formulated precisely. Then, the devised tracking method on the basis of the dynamic equations is tested in a complete flight control system with 6 DOF nonlinear equations of the UAV. The simulation result shows a satisfactory trajectory tracking performance so that the effectiveness and efficiency of the devised tracking method is proved.

The precise tracking 3D trajectory that changes dramatically within the boundary of flight performance is the essential capability of the UAV applied to air combat, which requires that flight control law design be adapted to nonlinear characteristics of flight dynamics and solve the singularities problem during the flight. Continuous trajectory control on the basis of nonlinear dynamic inversion (NDI) is studied. The singularities problem is caused by continuous trajectory expressed by flight velocity and flight-path angles. A sudden change of flight-path axis system happens when aircraft flies along a continuous trajectory which results in singularities. A method for amending flight-path axis system is presented to solve the sudden change problem of flight-path axis system. Finally, the combination of the maneuver generator based on quaternions and amending flight-path axis system realize the precise trajectory tracking control without singularities and obtain excellent tracking characteristics.

To remove the funitional payload variation, the attitude oscillation and trajectory tracking error of civil UAV in complex environment, a combined inner and outer control strategy for the civil UAV is designed based on the interval system control theory and dynamic tracking error minimization principle, which can guarantee the attitude stabilization in inner loop and the heading tracking in outer loop, thus solving the control effect deterioration and trajectory error drawback of the existing UAV with large scale model variation. The simulation results show that, the proposed combined control strategy can keep flight state's stabilization and effective trajectory tracking with good closed-loop robustness. This study is useful to develop effective and automatic civil UAV system's flight control strategy.
