OPTIMUM SUBMARINE DEPTH CONTROL SYSTEMS,

Abstract

An optimization study is made of submarine depth control systems. Those systems of concern are called the Normal Planes Maneuvering System and the Even Keel Planes and Even Keel Ballast Systems, respectively. The optimization technique is the minimum integral-squared error method, and it is applied to the systems for step inputs and no disturbance. The technique of optimization is presented and then applied to the three control systems. Selection of the system parameters is discussed, and a digital evaluation of the systems is described.
