Application of active disturbance rejection control in tank gun control system

The problem of position tracking for a tank gun control system with inertia uncertainty and external disturbance is investigated in this paper. The tank gun control system, demanding high tracking precision and stabilization precision, is a nonlinear system. Classical control methods are commonly used in the actual system, which is difficult to ensure high precision and high disturbance rejection capability. An active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) scheme is applied to guarantee the state variables of the closed loop system to converge to the reference state with the help of the extended state observer by estimating the inertia uncertainty and external disturbance. The basic theory of the ADRC is introduced here. According to the mathematical model, the parameters of ADRC is designed. Also, simulation results show that ADRC controller has advantages of high precision and high disturbance rejection ability. A comparison between ADRC and PID is also presented, to show the effectiveness of the ADRC control strategy.
