The purpose of this paper is to describe the application of a systematic single-range controller design procedure to control a cruise missile.
The controller design approach is based on one describing function model of the missile followed by linear system identification. The missile includes discontinuous nonlinear terms, and therefore, a small signal model is not obtainable by straight linearization. Once a linear approximation to the quasilinear model of the missile is obtained, a H∞ controller is designed to achieve a robust nonlinear closed-loop system.
It is found that performance of the closed-loop system with the applied simple controller design approach competes with one other complicated describing function-based controller design technique.
At present, the research is limited to design of linear H∞ controllers.
The major outcome of this paper is the verification that the applied simple describing function-based H∞ controller design procedure may be used to design high-performance controllers for cruise missiles.
This is the first paper that adopts an existing single-range H∞ controller design procedure to design high-performance controllers for cruise missiles.
