Digital Missile Controller Design and Analysis Information.
Abstract
The report documents design and analysis information developed for the practical design and analysis of digital controllers of U.S. Army servo-actuator-vane controlled missiles. This information is in the form of a development of the design and analysis methods for high-order, multi-loop, multi-rate digitally controlled system, and computer programs for the practical analysis and design of such systems. The methods developed herein are: multi-loop, multi-rate simulation for time, and frequency responses of the digital guidance and control system with computing delays; classical frequency domain design and analysis of the multi-loop, multi-rate, open and closed-loop systems via the modified z-transform; emulation of the flight control computer on an IBM computer for memory, computing time and error analysis; automated modern design of the digital compensators by solution of the 'linear-quadratic-loss' optimization problem and the Kalman filter; and, the determination of the optimization problem from the solution of the 'inverse problem' which transforms classical specifications into modern specifications.
