Application of Discrete Guidance and Control Theory to Future Army Modular Missiles.

Abstract

This technical report covers the Control Dynamics Company's efforts performed in completing the requirements set forth in Technical Requirement No. T-0208, entitled, 'Application of Digital Technology to Guidance and Control Theory.' Described is a simple analytical set of tools developed to help the practicing control system design engineer. These tools are the Parameter Space technique and the Cross-Multiplication technique. Also described is a comprehensive Digital Design seminar conducted for selected members of the Guidance and Control Directorate. Application of advanced digital theory to the PERSHING II digital autopilot is described, as well as the beginning efforts to evaluate the consequences of microprocessor implementation of digital filters.
