Abstract
Communication is vital in order to coordinate
rescue and clean up efforts should an event eliminate
the most common infrastructure, such a cell tower
and phone lines, in a region. One of the most
effective ways to set up an alternative communication
system without relying on traditional methods would
be to attach a temporary system to airships floating
above the region. However, an inherent problem with
airships is keeping them in the desired area with the
correct orientation. This paper compares two
different airship control methods, namely fuzzy logic
and classic controllers, to navigate the balloon while
hovering over a region in order to reestablish
