Automated Gain-Scheduling Approach for Three-Loop Autopilot

Abstract

This report documents an approach to flight control design for guided projectile applications with expanded flight envelopes. This method helps shorten the design-cycle iteration time by streamlining the tuning of gain-schedule surfaces across the flight envelope while simultaneously ensuring desired performance and robustness criteria are satisfied. This methodology is demonstrated on an example high-speed guided projectile to construct an effective gain-schedule across a supersonic flight envelope.
