A Constrained Fuzzy Controller for Beam Rider Guidance

Abstract

Fuzzy set theory was used to formulate a control system for beam rider guidance of a vehicle launched from a moving platform against an evasive contact. Control of the vehicle entails use of a time-varying data input stream from the launching platform sensor. Robust performance was demonstrated via the use of a computer simulation. Beam rider guidance is a standard technique that can be employed in weapon postlaunch control. Antisubmarine Warfare, Fuzzy Control System, Combat Control Systems, Beam Rider Guidance
