A MATLAB/Simulink implementation of the tethered UAV control problem under the taut cable condition.
This is an implementation of the paper titled "Nonlinear control of a tethered UAV: The taut cable case", by M. Nicotra et.at. (2017).
All equations can be found in the referenced paper.

Planar model of a tethered UAV with a taut cable [Nicotra2017]

.

MATLAB/Simulink software v2018a or higher.

1. Download the files.
   
2. double click "TetheredUAVControl.prj" to open it in the MATLAB/Simulink environment (now the parameters will be loaded and the Simulink model "UAV_Taut_Cable.slx" will pop-up).
   
3. Run the Simulink model to generate the results (results can be monitored in the scope elements).
   
4. ... Edit the MATLAB script "UAV_Taut_Cable_parameters.m" for your desiered scenario and parameters.
