Based on previous work, a Nussbaum gian controller is proposed to solve the unknown input direction problem of a large family of supersonic missiles. Also considering the one order dynamic characteristic of actuator , the uncertainties of nonlinear missile system, which is assumed to satisfy the socalled bounded uncertainty condition, are coped by the adopting of integral action and backsteppin...

Non-conservative LMI conditions of robust strict G-passification are presented and a design method is given for static output-feedback control. An application example to robust controller design for a cruise missile model is given. Copyright c © 2005 IFAC.

The interception of a maneuvering antisurface missile, as in ballistic missile defense and ship defense scenarios, is formulated as an imperfect information, zero-sum, pursuit-evasion game with a state constraint imposed on the evader. Assuming that the perfect informationversion of the gamedoes not yield a successful result for the defense, the solution of this game is in mixed strategies. The...

This paper address the control problem for the bank-to-turn (BTT) missile, which is a complicated nonlinear system. BTT autopilot is not simple, mainly due to the nonlinear and coupled character of system equations, the lack of a precise model for the missile dynamics and parameters, as well as the appearance of internal and external perturbations. The proposed methodology is an approach includ...

of THEATER MISSILE DEFENSE IN WORLD WAR II SOME OPERATIONAL ART CONSIDERATIONS The World War II V-l and V-2 attacks by Germany were the first effective use of theater missiles, and the first instance of a requirement for theater missile defense (TMD). The Allied response to German cruise (V-l) and ballistic (V-2) missile attacks incorporated all the elements of modern TMD concepts—Active Defens...

The Missile Internal Power (MIP) project has studied the problem of developing integrated power supplies of minimum weight capable of providing regulated electrical power in an isolated environment subject to severe climatic and force conditions. An initial study of alternative energy sources and components revealed the most promising system. Basic investigations of the properties and character...

The application of fuzzy logic for the development of guidance laws for homing missiles is presented. Fuzzy logic approximation of the well known proportional navigation guidance law is discussed, followed by the development of a blended guidance law using fuzzy logic. The objective of the latter guidance law is to combine desirable features of three homing guidance laws to enhance the intercep...
