Abstract:This article investigates the problem of monitoring wildfires using a quadcopter uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) subject to external perturbations and nonlinear uncertainties. A finite‐time control scheme is designed for the quadcopter UAV to monitor the elliptical propagation of a wildfire. The control scheme is composed of an improved nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode control (NFTSMC) and a higher order sliding mode observer (HOSMO). The HOSMO is constructed first to estimate external perturbations, nonli… Show more
