Abstract

This report presents a comprehensive study on the implementation and simulation of advanced flight control systems for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The work is divided into two primary domains: the practical application of the Pixhawk Pilot Support Package (PSP) within the MATLAB/Simulink environment and the theoretical construction of a six-degree-of-freedom (6 DOF) dynamic model for fixed-wing aircraft. By leveraging the PSP, we demonstrate the integration of hardware-in-theloop (HIL) components, including sensor fusion via uORB and actuator control. Furthermore, a high-fidelity Python-based simulation is developed to validate the 6-DOF equations of motion and control law effectiveness.
