A tactical skid to turn missile autopilot is designed and implemented using a two step design process that results in an optimal output feedback with a fixed, low order dynamic compensator for reduced design and implementation cost. The gain design consists of minimizing a performance index in which measurements and controls are appropriately weighted to achieve the desired speed of response, while minimizing overshoot, fin rates, body rates, and maximizing stability margins. The cross channel multi variable autopilot provides faster response times with better stability than does the single channel classical autopilot. The faster response time results in many performance benefits, including smaller miss distance that results in increased lethality, and reduced homing time requirements. This autopilot was implemented and tested in missile borne microprocessors.
