This paper introduces a robust dynamic sliding mode control algorithm using a nonlinear disturbance observer for system dynamics. The proposed method is applied to provide a rapid adaptation and strictly robust performance for the attitude and altitude control of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The procedure of the proposed method consists of two stages. First, a nonlinear disturbance observer is applied to estimate the exogenous perturbation. Second, a robust dynamic sliding mode controller integrated with the estimated values of disturbances is presented by a combination of a proportional–integral–derivative (PID) sliding surface and super twisting technique to compensate for the effect of these perturbations on the system. In addition, the stability of a control system is established by Lyapunov theory. A numerical simulation was performed and compared to recently alternative methods. An excellent tracking performance and superior stability of the attitude and altitude control of UAVs, exhibiting a fast response, good adaptation, and no chattering effect in the simulation results proved the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed method.
