Simplified Guidance and Control,
Abstract
While formulating the optimum trajectory one must at the same time synthesize some form of corrective control action along the way. Economic considerations also dictate that this control scheme be as simple as possible commensurate with the desired system accuracy. One approach to such a requirement is to design a linear controller that attempts to keep deviations of some or all the state variables from a standard trajectory small. 'Directional Control' which acts to keep the steady state normal velocity due to cross winds essentially zero is such a scheme. This report summarizes the status of investigations into such simplified schemes at the University of Tennessee under the contract.
