Firing Data Comparison of Classical and Modern Turret Controllers,
Abstract
Analysis of firing test data has proved the validity of using modern optimal control techniques to improve the dispersion characteristics of helicopter gun turrets. Statistical analysis was performed on firing data from tests conducted at the Ware Simulation Center at Rock Island Arsenal involving helicopter turret controllers designed using classical and modern control theory. This analysis showed that the gun turret systems operated by modern optimally designed controllers demonstrated statistically significant smaller firing dispersion than systems operated by classically designed controllers.
