Class	Description
AirspeedController	Extends UavController to implement airspeed control modes.
AltitudeController	Extends UavController to implement altitude control modes Primarily responsible for controlling engine power
ControlCoefficients	Class for loading and maintaining control coefficients utilized by UavController objects All control constants should be greater than or equal to zero

LoiterController	Extends UavController to implement waypoint control modes
OpenLoopController	Extends UavController to implement open loop control modes
UavController	Abstract class for implementing specific UAV control modes
UavControllers
UavControlParameters	Contains variables required for setting vehicle and sensor control modes These variables may change during the course of a run Also contains an overloaded parseCommand function (1 version for text commands, one for AVCL) that will set these variables.
WaypointController	Extends UavController to implement waypoint control modes

Package execution.uav.control Description

Unmanned air vehicle (UAV) controller classes.

The execution classes emulate vehicle controllers to drive propulsors (such as propellers or jets) and effectors (such as plane surfaces or rudders) in response to motion commands. In turn these controllers react to the realistic physical response provided by the real-time 6 degree of freedom (DOF) dynamics engines. Controllers can be open loop (without feedback) or open loop (utilizing feedback) based on that vehicle response.
