ABSTRACT
To this end, autopilot design for BTT missiles has attracted extensive attention, and various strategies have been proposed. Based on the models obtained by approximate linearization in given flight conditions or input/output feedback linearization technique, a few elegant control methods including robust control [42], gain-scheduling control [45, 46], nonlinear control [199], model predictive control [49], and switching control [201] have been employed for advanced autopilot designs. Performance, stability, and robustness of modern missiles have been significantly improved with these advanced control techniques. Further development is still required to meet even increasing performance requirements for advanced missiles.
