Research on application of single moving mass in the reentry warhead maneuver

Moving mass is one of the control actuators, whose configuration in the warhead is the basis of application in engineering for moving mass control technology. The servo forces, which drive the moving mass to move, affect the translational and rotational motion of the missile. It not only could increase the moving range of the center of system mass, but also reduce the requirement for the roll channel. Firstly, a single moving mass control mode, which consists of the rotation of rail around the longitudinal body-axis and the translation of the moving mass along the rail, is presented. Then, the 8-DOF dynamic model is established and the coupling characteristics between the attitude control and the servo-loop control are analyzed in this paper. Based on the above analysis, the attitude tracking control law is designed by using sliding mode theory. Finally, the problem about the terminal guidance of reentry vehicle is studied by numerical simulation: the state of moving mass is controlled by the servo force, and the missile attitude is controlled by adjusting the position of moving mass so that the excepted overload designed by using the proportion guidance could be tracked exactly. The simulation results verify the validity of the proposed method.
