Design of Missile Longitudinal Control System Based on Backstepping Control

Abstract

Missile control system is not block strict feedback system which is suitable to use backstepping method. So in this paper, a backstepping control method is proposed to design a missile longitudinal autopilot and is proved to be asymptotically stable by Lyapunov stability theory. The simulation results show that the designed system can still track commands quickly and accurately and is robust with aerodynamic perturbation and control input saturation.
