Theory and Computer Program for Transfer Function Identification by the GRAM Identifier with Application to Undersea Vehicles.

Abstract

A method for the analysis of submerged vehicle dynamics is described. It enables the test engineer to identify the transfer function parameters from actual flight-test data (for post-flight analysis), or from simulated trajectories (for designing tow-test maneuvers), via the computer program GRAM. The method is noniterative and yields reliable estimates in the presence of disturbances and instrumentation noise. (Author)
