PHALANX CIWS Control System Stability, Aim Bias Compensation, and Noise- Sensitivity
Abstract
An aiming control system, which is similar to that in the Block I PHALANX Close-In Weapon System, is considered in this report. An important feature of this control system is that it compensates for any gun aim bias. An aim bias may be caused by variations in the gun, ammunition, or environmental condition. Design issues considered are stability, aim bias compensation, and sensitivity to feedback noise. These are disparate design goals. Design tradeoffs that quantify this disparity are presented. An example is given that illustrates how the analysis developed in this report might be used in a design situation.
