Some control strategies for a high-angle-of-attack missile autopilot

Abstract Recent interest in high maneuverability and stealth in missiles has triggered new investigations in estimating the potential and applicability of recent theoretical control methods as well as how they can meet industrial demands. Since the work presented here is closely related to an industrial application it is desirable to deal primarily with classical regulators. In this paper, two nonlinear methods are considered: `Approximate feedback linearization’ and the `asymptotic output tracking’ approach. Simulation results are given.
