Mixed H/sub 2//H/sub /spl infin// control with regional pole placements for underwater vehicle systems

Proposes the mixed H/sub 2//H/sub /spl infin// controller design method with regional pole placements according to the 3 step guidance courses for underwater vehicle systems in horizontal motion and vertical motion, respectively. The change of hydrodynamics, time delays, and disturbances are considered as uncertainties of the system. The full nonlinear simulation including initial leveling part, guidance, autopilot, actuator, etc., shows that the proposed controllers are efficient in the sense of new strategy for underwater vehicle systems.
