Control of the non-stationary gyroscopic system in the target tracking process

Abstract

The paper presents a method of controlling a gyroscope system constituting a drive in observation and tracking heads and in the coordinator of the target of self-guiding flying objects. In many cases, the mentioned system becomes non-stationary due to the changing parameters such as the speed of own rotation (fast) or friction in the bearings of the gyroscope frames. Classical controllers do not provide sufficient control accuracy, thus the flying object will not be able to intercept the moving target. The modified linearquadratic regulator described previously is a solution to this problem. This article shows the effectiveness of this regulator in comparison with the optimal regulator of PD. Some results of the research are presented in a graphical form.
