An Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) guidance law is addressed as an optimal regulator (LQR) problem. An adaptive optimal path following nomenclature is derived and defined. The state weighting matrix of the LQR is defined in term of intrinsic parameter error thereby enabling the guidance law to regulate the UAV disturbance errors effectively. The state weighing matrix is tuned using a genetic algorithm...
