The neural network is employed to deal with system uncertainty, and the disturbance observer is employed to estimate the external disturbance of the UAV. By using the neural network output and disturbance observer output, a nonlinear automatic carrier landing controller for the UAV is designed to realize effective tracking of the landing control command. Utilizing the Lyapunov stability method, the convergence of all the closed-loop signals is proved strictly, ensuring the precise automatic carrier landing control of the UAV. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed control method.
