Robustness of Hardy Space with Finite 2-Norm and Hardy Space with Finite Infinity-Norm Design Techniques in the Design of a Guided Missile Controller

Abstract

This work follows Capt. R.L. Riddle's 1989 thesis (ADA216147) which compared conventional, (H2(Hardy space with finite 2-norm) and H infinity (Hardy space with finite infinity norm)) and H infinity controlled guided missiles in simulated flyouts against an airborne target. The simulation results did not clearly demonstrate the H2 and H infinity controller advantages. In this study the missile model and simulation were refined. In addition to simulation runs, performance, noise attenuation, and mu (structural singular value) robustness analyses were conducted. Results showed areas where improvement was needed in the H2 and H infinity controllers used in the study. An H2 and H infinity controller redesign is recommended using the mu synthesis design technique. Additional simulation runs are also recommended to examine whether the improved controllers reduce miss distances.
