This paper explores the design of an autopilot for a dual-spin guided projectile taking into account input saturations. The projectile full nonlinear model is described and then put in a quasi-LPV form suitable for controller synthesis. A baseline gain-scheduled autopilot is then computed without taking into account the saturation nonlinearities. As a major contribution of this paper, the impact of saturations is next highlighted through a degraded flight scenario, and an antiwindup compensator is added to the closed-loop to counteract their effects. The improvements brought by the anti-windup are then evaluated through Monte Carlo simulations.
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.
