Abstract: A novel Lyapunov-based three-axis attitude intelligent control approach via allocation scheme is considered in the proposed research to deal with kinematics and dynamics regarding the unmanned aerial vehicle systems. There is a consensus among experts of this field that the new outcomes in the present complicated systems modeling and control are highly appreciated with respect to state-of-the-art. The control scheme presented here is organized in line with a new integration of the linear-nonlinear control approaches, as long as the angular velocities in the three axes of the system are accurately dealt with in the inner closed loop control. And the corresponding rotation angles are dealt with in the outer closed loop control. It should be noted that the linear control in the present outer loop is first designed through proportional based linear quadratic regulator (PD based LQR) approach under optimum coefficients, while the nonlinear control in the corresponding inner loop is then realized through Lyapunov-based approach in the presence of uncertainties and disturbances. In order to complete the inner closed loop control, there is a pulse-width pulse-frequency (PWPF) modulator to be able to handle on-off thrusters. Furthermore, the number of these on-off thrusters may be increased with respect to the investigated control efforts to provide the overall accurate performance of the system, where the control allocation scheme is realized in the proposed strategy. It may be shown that the dynamics and kinematics of the unmanned aerial vehicle systems have to be investigated through the quaternion matrix and its corresponding vector to avoid presenting singularity of the results. At the end, the investigated outcomes are presented in comparison with a number of potential benchmarks to verify the approach performance.
