The unmanned aerial vehicle technology has been rapidly developed in the past decades, and has a very wide application prospect in military and civil fields. In these applications, tracking ground targets is its most basic but challenging task. Meanwhile, the motion control of the unmanned aerial vehicle becomes a key part of a target tracking system. The general tracking patterns can be divided into two categories: overhead tracking and range tracking. Overhead tracking is a tracking mode in which a drone periodically flies over a target, and can closely track a fast moving ground target, however there is a risk of exposure. The distance tracking mode is a tracking mode that the unmanned aerial vehicle keeps a certain distance from a ground target, the distance tracking has the advantage that the unmanned aerial vehicle can track the ground target without being discovered by the unmanned aerial vehicle, but the tracking method is only suitable for tracking a low-speed target due to the constraint of a minimum turning radius. In the conventional guidance method design, the two guidance methods of the tracking mode are generally designed independently and the stability of the two guidance methods is analyzed respectively. If the over-top tracking and the distance tracking are combined, a unified guidance method is designed, namely the advantages of two tracking modes are integrated, the defects of the two tracking modes are overcome, and the method has very important practical significance.

The process of tracking the Levy moving target is divided into automatic tracking according to the speed and instruction tracking. Fig. 11 is a diagram of relative distance of a Levy moving target tracked by two modes of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The 3000s before simulation is that the unmanned aerial vehicle switches the tracking mode according to the speed of the tracked ground target, when the speed of the ground moving target is less than 1/3 of the speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the fixed-distance tracking mode is adopted, otherwise, the over-top tracking mode is adopted; and after the simulation, the unmanned aerial vehicle receives an instruction to track in 3000s, the unmanned aerial vehicle receives an overhead tracking instruction in the first 1500s, and the unmanned aerial vehicle receives a fixed-distance tracking instruction in the last 1500 s.
As can be seen from fig. 10 and 11, the drone can successfully track the complex Levy moving ground target. Even if the target in a complex motion state is tracked, the guidance method designed by the method can be used for successfully tracking the target in real time no matter the tracking guidance method mode is switched according to the speed change of the ground target or the instruction, and the stability is good in the switching transition process.
