Recoil Compensation Control of Cannon based on Preset Performance

In order to suppress the recoil force generated by the cannon of armed helicopters, an adaptive recoil compensation control method based on preset performance is proposed by combining backstepping method and adaptive control. Firstly, the recoil force model of a cannon is established by analyzing the attitude model of an armed helicopter and the position relationship between the cannon and the helicopter. Then, according to the requirements of control time and control effect, a recoil compensation controller with preset performance is designed based on backstepping method and adaptive control. Finally, the simulation results verify the effectiveness of the designed controller.
