One of the trending categories of such armaments is the aerial gliding vehicle (AGV). AGVs have no propulsion system, consequently, a critical need for a robust flight control system (FCS) tailored to this kind of aerial systems is raised. This research focuses on designing a nonlinear model based controller, starting with the construction of a precise model through practical experiments and the establishment of a dedicated testing and flight simulation environment. Recognizing the limitations of traditional nonlinear dynamic inversion (NDI) due to its dependence on the vehicle model, the modified incremental nonlinear dynamic inversion (MI-NDI) is developed to operate in the presence of wind, model mismatches, and external disturbances. In this research, an extensive testing is conducted in a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation environment which validates the MI-NDI controller\u2019s superior performance, even in challenging conditions. The research outcomes mark a significant advancement in enhancing autopilot precision for advanced aerial weaponry and unmanned vehicles. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s2301385025500323","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,28]],"date-time":"2024-02-28T15:33:01Z","timestamp":1709134381000},"page":"541-560","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Precision Advancements in Aerial Gliding Vehicles: Modeling to FCS Validation"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9868-556X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohamed Ibrahim","family":"Mohamed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Guidance and Control Department, Military Technical College, Cairo 11827, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6892-1100","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ehab","family":"Safwat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guidance and Control Department, Military Technical College, Cairo 11827, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4417-0891","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammed A.
