Abstract

Abstract This article addresses the design of a robust feedback controller for the roll dynamics of a dual-spin guided projectile equipped with low performance actuators. Exploiting characteristics of realistic flight scenarios and the corresponding parameter variations, a simple yet efficient gain-scheduling strategy tailored for this application is devised. Controller synthesis is based on robust control techniques, and takes into account potential hardware limitations to safeguard against performance loss upon digital implementation. Robust stability analysis with respect to aerodynamic and actuator uncertainties is also investigated using µ-analysis techniques and includes computation of worst-case stability margins. The designed autopilot is then tested on a complete nonlinear simulator of the projectile to validate the proposed solution.
