Abstract

As the expanding field of navigation technologies allows more accurate guidance of unmanned vehicles (UV), higher performance, smaller size control actuation systems are required. Because of their low cost and minimum maintenance, electro-mechanical actuators have been used extensively in air, ground, and underwater UV. Electronic controllers currently utilized with EM actuators use discrete components integrated on a printed circuit board.
