　　Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has many applications such as military defense and surveillance.weather forecast, terrain surveying, and civilian search and rescue.In this paper, the autonomous UAV is commanded to follow a path defined by a series of waypoints.The tracking performance of different guidance algorithms[1-5] for horizontal path tracking is studied.The algorithms are tested using nonlinear 6-DOF simulations of a model UAV[6].
