Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) Model Predictive Control (MPC) of a High-Speed Projectile

Abstract

In this research, a model predictive control (MPC) strategy is implemented on a high-speed guided projectile. The nonlinear aerodynamics of the projectile in the longitudinal plane are approximated using a Linear Parameter Varying model, which is used in the controller optimization for state prediction across the control horizon. The choice of MPC cost function is presented to enforce reference tracking and flight stability, and the controller is demonstrated in simulation using the projectile nonlinear longitudinal aerodynamic model.
