APPROXIMATELY OPTIMUM CONTROL OF AN INERTIAL PLATFORM WITH RANDOM DISTURBANCES

Abstract

A number of techniques are discussed which can be used to modify the bang-bang principle in order to overcome some common problems such as finite gain, random inputs, and minor time constants, namely: automatic dual mode, provision for reserve torque, and means for incorporating lag compensation. An example is given in which the methods are incorporated into an approximate bang-bang system to control an inertial platform. (Author)
