Application of Synthesis Technique for Nonlinear Uncertain Systems to Flight Control of Advanced Missiles.

Abstract

A simplified but nonlinear model is used for the autopilot in the single-axis missile interceptor problem. A recent exact design technique for uncertain nonlinear feedback systems, is used to design the autopilot. A large number of target initial range, position, velocity and acceleration values were used. Also, uncertainty in the aerodynamic missile parameters was allowed. The objective was to guarantee that the autopilot response satisfied specified tolerances over the above ranges. This was satisfactorily achieved. This autopilot design was then used in the simulation of the single-axis interceptor system, over the above set of target trajectories. The results were highly satisfactory. (Author)
