In the practical applications, classical control methods such as proportional\u2010integral\u2010derivative control are usually selected because of simple and high reliability. However, it is usually difficult to select or optimize the control parameters. The purpose of this paper is to investigate an intelligent algorithm based classical controller of UAV.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among the many intelligent algorithms, shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA) combines the benefits of the genetic\u2010based memetic algorithm as well as social behavior based particle swarm optimization. SFLA is a population based meta\u2010heuristic intelligent optimization method inspired by natural memetics. In order to improve the performance of SFLA, a different dividing method of the memeplexes is presented to make their performance balance; moreover, an evolution mechanism of the best frog is introduced to make the algorithm jump out the local optimum. The modified SFLA is applied to the tuning of the proportional coefficients of pitching and rolling channels of UAV flight control system.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>Simulation of a UAV control system in which the nonlinear model is obtained by the wind tunnel experiment show the rapid dynamic response and high control precision by using the modified SFLA optimized attitude controller, which is better than that of the original SFLA and particle swarm optimization method.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>A modification scheme is presented to improve the global searching capability of SFLA.
