Abstract

In this work, performance analysis of the recently appeared extended-state-observer (ESO)-based roll autopilot design is carried out. Firstly, considering a more realistic roll dynamics, performance comparison of the ESO-based design with several classical roll autopilot structures is carried out and the related results are presented. Next, the better performing designs are implemented and validated through a high fidelity nonlinear 6-DOF environment for a typical tactical missile in a realistic engagement scenario. Lastly, performance of the ESO-based design is investigated using Monte Carlo simulations under several subsystem parameter uncertainties. The results show that the ESO-based design offers satisfactory performance in controlling roll angle and its rate in the presence of significant disturbances, parameter uncertainties and cross-coupling effects and thus offers a viable approach towards design of roll autopilot for high performance tactical missiles.
