Universal Turret System Model Determination and Controller Performance Testing

Abstract

Objectives of the testing were to obtain necessary data to determine a valid mathematical model for a universal turret system and to test the performance of optimal turret controllers designed and built for the UTS using that model. Two distinct test phases were conducted: the model determination and the controller performance testing. First, the model determination testing is reported, including turret preparation, test plan preparation and modification, and test execution. Then, the optimal controller design and performance testing is covered. Results of both firing and nonfiring tests are reported and analyzed. The frequency response (Bode) plots are compared to derived theoretical results. The UTS optimal controller performance is compared to the performance of the UTS original controller and of the prototype XM97 controllers tested in a previous program by the use of statistical analysis technique.
