چکیده
The power and speed of modern digital computers is truly astounding so that it enables carrying on complex tasks such as aerospace simulation, design and analysis, precisely. In addition to the nature of the guidance problem, the design technique, neural networks, necessitates cumbersome computations to yield precise and accurate performance. Neural networks approach the solution of this problem by trying to mimic the structure and function of the human nervous system. Therefore, this paper is devoted a new approach using the power of both computation facilities and neural networks in the design and analysis of an autopilot for the guidance system. Then, its performance is justified against the classical design approach through the Six degrees of freedom (6DoF) flight simulation.

Gnc-95 Neural Networks for Stable Adaptive Control of Air-to-air Missiles
A recently developed approach to the control of uncertain nonlinear systems uses neural network technology to improve upon feedback linearization. In the proposed architecture, a neural network adaptively cancels linearization errors through on-line learning. One feature which distinguishes this approach is its use of Lyapunov stability theory to guarantee closed-loop stability. In this paper, ...
متن کاملComparison of Flight Control System Design Methods in Landing
The development and application of most present-day systems and control theory were spurred on by the need to resolve aerospace problems. This is roughly the problem of analyzing and designing flight control systems for tactical missiles or aircraft. The control laws used in current tactical missile or aircraft are mainly based on classical control design techniques. These control laws were dev...

A new autopilot design for bank-to-turn (BTT) missiles is presented. In the design of autopilot, a ridge Gaussian neural network with local learning capability and fewer tuning parameters than Gaussian neural networks is proposed to model the controlled nonlinear systems. We prove that the proposed ridge Gaussian neural network, which can be a universal approximator, equals the expansions of ro...

By P. K. Menon and E. J. Ohlmeyer Abstract Recent threat assessments by the US Navy have indicated the need for improving the accuracy of defensive missiles. This objective can only be achieved by enhancing the performance of the missile subsystems and by finding methods to exploit the synergism existing between subsystems. As a first step towards the development of integrated design methodolog...
متن کاملSystematic Gain-scheduling Control Design: a Missile Autopilot Example
The missile autopilot was designed using linear parameter-varying (LPV) control techniques. The controller provides exponential stability guarantee and performance bound in terms of induced L2 norm for the missile plant. The systematic gain-scheduling approach is motivated by the recent development in LPV control theory and provides a well founded and systematic procedure for high performance m...
