Design of gain-scheduled autopilot for a highly-agile missile

Abstract

This work is concerned with an application of gain-scheduling control method to design of skid-to-turn (STT) missile autopilot. Presented simple non-linear adaptive controller is developed by combining linear parameter-varying (LPV) gain scheduling approach with eigenvalue assignment control technique. Subsequently, linear interpolation is applied to generate non-linear parameter varying controller from a finite number of linear time-invariant (LTI) controllers. Results of simulations are reported to demonstrate performance, stability as well as robustness of introduced scheme
