Missile Autopilot Design Using a Generalized Hamiltonian Formulation

This paper presents the application of robust multivariable control to a missile autopilot design. A synergistic algorithm based on the generalized Hamiltonian formulation is applied to robust autopilot design for the HAVE DASH II missile system. The design endures significant kinematic and inertia couplings, aerodynamic parameter variations and high frequency flexible effects.
