This paper presents a design approach for the automatic flight control system of a launch vehicle using a linear quadratic integral technique together with a fixed gain Kalman filter. Its purpose is to analyse the stability and tracking robustness performances of the control system designed via this approach when atmospheric disturbances, modeling uncertainties and structural flexible modes of the launcher are taken into account.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
