Optimal Control for Anti-Tank Weapon.

Abstract

A severe sensitivity problem existed with the previous optimal control law implementation. It was decided that the control problem had to be reformulated with hard constraints on the controller. A review of the pertinent control literature is given in Chapter III. Our control problem is formulated in Chapter IV as a minimum time, minimum fuel, and minimum energy problem. The solution as a minimum time problem is discussed. The computer implementation in a simple four state simulation is given in Chapter V with conclusions and recommendations for future study given in Chapter VI. (Author)
