About the Book

Guidance and Control of Unmanned Vehicles demonstrates how the developed guidance laws for UAVs can be applied to a wide class of unmanned vehicles, including aerial, ground, water, and underwater vehicles. Drawing upon the author’s innovative approach, this new edition presents a rigorous theory of guidance based on the parallel navigation rule and formulates an expanded guidance problem and guidance laws that can be applied to all unmanned vehicles. It includes a new chapter on the role of unmanned vehicle operators. The book also discusses the obstacle avoidance problem for unmanned vehicles and avoidance algorithms. Readers will learn how to choose optimal parameters of guidance laws based on the Lyapunov-Bellman approach. Industry researchers, practicing engineers, and operators working on the design and performance of various unmanned vehicles will benefit from the new research in this book. It can also serve as a basis for several graduate courses in the fields of mechanical, aerospace, electrical, and computer engineering.

About the Author :
Rafael Yanushevsky, Research & Technology Consulting, USA, was born in Kiev, Ukraine, and received a B.S. degree in Mathematics and an M.S. degree, with honors, in Electromechanical Engineering from Kiev University, Ukraine and the Kiev Polytechnic Institute, Ukraine, respectively. He earned his Ph.D. in optimization of multivariable systems in 1968 from the Institute of Control Sciences of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia. After immigrating to the United States in December 1987, Dr. Yanushevsky started teaching at the University of Maryland, first in the Department of Electrical Engineering then in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He also taught at the University of the District of Columbia in the Department of Mathematics. Since 1999, he has been involved in projects related to the aerospace industry. He received a Letter of Appreciation from the Department of the Navy, the Navy Area Theater Ballistic Missile Program in 2002. He has published over 90 papers and six books, including Guidance of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (2011, CRC Press) and Modern Missile Guidance (2019, CRC Press).
