Software Tools for Nonlinear Missile Autopilot Design

Abstract

A computer-aided design software package for nonlinear control synthesis is discussed. The software incorporates five different modern nonlinear control methods. The versatility of the software lies in its ability to develop nonlinear controllers using a simulation model. As a result, models of arbitrary complexity can be used in the control law development. The use of the design software is illustrated through the design of nonlinear regulators for a longitudinal missile model.
