The tracking error model is first derived via appropriate coordinate transformations, and is considered as a cascade structure composed of two subsystems. The Lyapunov redesign approach is employed to construct the control laws separately to stabilize the two subsystems with unknown model parameters. The cascade system theory is applied to prove the global uniform asymptotic convergence of the state trajectory to the reference one provided the desired yaw velocity is not vanishing.
