“…Ignoring the axial force, the RCS control force and gravity, the turn rate dynamics can be simplified aṡ γ = (T sin α − F z cos α)/(mV ) (7) It is seen that the turn rate γ is determined by angle of attack α, velocity V , thrust T , mass m and altitude h. On the condition that these variables are remained constant except the angle of attack, the behavior of the missile turn rate versus the angle of attack for each Mach number ranging from 0.3 to 0.8 is shown in Fig. 3.…”

“…Other robust control approaches were also investigated to synthesize the agile missile autopilot based on H ∞ control [4], pole-placement [5], back-stepping [6] and so on. Recently, a novel strategy only using aerodynamic control was proposed in [7], in order to demonstrate a simple potential scheme of agile turn. Furthermore, detailed investigations for this strategy including theoretical analysis and numerical simulation were carried out in [8].…”

Ahstract-This paper proposes a purely aerodynamic pitch control scheme for agile missiles that may enter the high angle of attack (AOA) domain in which aerodynamic actuation is ineffective. Assuming that aerodynamic data is available for the whole flight envelope, a simulation approach is taken to find aerodynamic control parameters, so as to enable the missile's agile manoeuvres. The strength of the proposed approach is that no third control mechanism such as thrust vectoring is required for the missile control in the high AOA domain. The proposed approach is tested on aerodynamic data available in literature, and is shown to be promising via simulations.

This paper proposes a purely aerodynamic pitch control design scheme for agile missiles that need to reverse their flight directions for tracking a target. The main challenge in performing this kind of manoeuvre is that the missiles may enter the high angle of attack domain in which aerodynamic actuation is ineffective. Assuming that reliable aerodynamic data are available for the flight envelope, a systematic search algorithm is employed to find an aerodynamic control parameter and the motor thrust activation time, so as to enable the missile's required manoeuvre. The strength of the proposed design scheme is that no third control mechanism such as thrust vectoring is required for the missile control even in the high angle of attack domain. The proposed design scheme is tested on aerodynamic data available in literature, and is shown to be promising via simulations.
