<p align="justify">UCAV (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle) is an unmanned flying vehicle designed to carry out combat missions. UCAV must have high efficiency to be able to carry out specific missions and maneuvers. In the profile of the UAV mission there is a cruise mission, at this time the vehicle must have a good height control and guard system. In conventional altitude guard systems there is no good coordination between speed hold system and altitude hold system. Therefore, in this final project a control system is designed using TECS (Total Energy Control System). TECS coordinates changes in speed and change in altitude by considering the total energy contained in the flying vehicle. In this final project, TECS is used to control the flying altitude of UCAV. The UCAV dynamic model used in the simulation is the UCAV model which is currently available. For comparison, an altitude hold system which is designed using a conventional approach is used.<p align="justify">
