Clearance of flight control law based on H-infinity theory

The H∞ approach is used for the clearance of flight control laws when some parameters in the flight control system vary in a certain range. The proposed H∞ approach is developed from general H∞ theory and is applied to the clearance of a flight control law for a missile. Based on bounded real lemma, two theorems about clearance are deduced, and the clearance problem is transformed to a general linear matrix inequality problem. A BTT missile is chosen as an example to test the proposed method. The simulation result shows that the proposed method is convenient and efficient.
