Many challenges surround the engineering design process of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). This paper describes a composite of a capstone and two research projects for the design of a navigation subsystem for a UAV. These projects address control, stabilization and autonomy of the vehicle with time-varying, nonlinear dynamics in a challenging environment and variable payloads. The paper provides theoretical and practical solutions, as well as alternatives to current control approaches for UAVs. The results are intended for the design of a UAV that can be used for different types of operations such as connecting isolated remote communities and reinforcing the sovereignty of countries within their borders, without requiring traditional means of protection.
