Design and Numerical Simulation Analysis of Missile Control System

The missile control system design and analysis are detailed from both nonlinear and linear control perspectives. The control parameters of backstepping based nonlinear autopilot were determined based on step and sine input commands. Then the characteristics of two control parameters were examined. A linear three-loop autopilot based on optimal control was also presented for comparison. The numerical simulation results show that the backstepping recursive approach provides a systematically constructive procedure for missile autopilot. The based nonlinear autopilot exhibits excellent tracking performance and robustness.
