THE APPLICATION OF SAMPLED-DATA CONTROL TO AN ANTI-TANK MISSILE,

Abstract

The feasibility of a sampled-data control system for a close support missile, such as the anti tank missile, is studied primarily from the standpoint of performance. Realistic require ments which reflect the limitations of available hardware are placed on the system. Airframe inertia and inertia changes are characteristic of a hypervelocity anti-tank missile which is under preliminary development by the Future Missile Systems Division of the Army Missile Command. A comparison is made between the continuous-data system and the sampled-data system, which are designed to s3et the same requirements. The study is made through mathematical analysis aided by analog computer simulation. (Author)
