A frequency identification modeling method for a small UAV helicopter and its control system design is presented. A modified frequency identification method for a state-space model of helicopter is presented. The overall concept is to extract a complete set of non-parametric input-to-output frequency responses that fully characterizes the coupled helicopter dynamics, conduct a nonlinear search based on secant method for a linear state-space model that matches the frequency-response data set. The accuracy of the identified model is verified by flight experiments. A path following controller is presented for an unmanned helicopter with two-loop control frame. The outer-loop is used to obtain the expected attitude angles through reference path and speed with guidance-based path following control, and the inner-loop is used to control the attitude angles of helicopter tracking the expected ones with loop shaping method. Finally, an 8 trajectory tracking simulation is conducted to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed control method.
