A framework is introduced to develop the theory of the adjoint method for models including both continuous and discrete dynamics. The basis of this framework consists of the class of impulsive linear dynamic systems. It allows extension of the adjoint method to more general models that include multirate subsystems or nonperiodic discrete events....

This paper proposes a new approach to the derivation of homing guidance laws for interceptor missiles that makes use of linear-quadratic optimal control in a different manner than the traditional approaches. Instead of looking only for the minimization of the miss distance and the integral square of the guidance command, the new criterion...

This paper introduces a new approach to guidance law design using linear quadratic optimal control theory, minimizing throughout the engagement the variation of the control input as well as the integral control effort. The guidance law is derived for arbitrary order missile dynamics and target maneuvers. Explicit results are provided for a first...

A perturbed nonlinear system of relative degree two controlled by output feedbacks discontinuous-hybrid-impulsive control is studied. The output hybrid-impulsive terms serve to drive instantaneously the system's trajectory to the origin or to its small vicinity. The output feedback impulsive action combined with the output relay feedback control...

In this paper, we investigate the use of adjoint simulation for assessing the miss distance performance of a generic guidance system under the influence of a blind range condition. The term "blind range" refers to that final portion of the missile trajectory for which sensor data are not available. In practice, when this happens, the...

The paper considers the problem of bringing the state of a controllable linear system to the origin in a very short time. It takes the approach of considering an “ideal” control input consisting of a linear combination of the Dirac delta function and its derivatives that realizes this goal instantaneously. Three schemes are introduced to...

A perturbed nonlinear system of relative degree two controlled by discontinuous-impulsive feedbacks is studied. The hybrid-impulsive terms serve to drive instantaneously the system trajectories to the origin or to its small vicinity. In particular, impulsive-twisting control exhibits an uniform exact finite time convergence to the second order...

An innovative method is proposed for the estimation of inertial measurement biases. This method, that we call DriftLessTM, is based on fusing the data from two sets of inertial measurement sensors that are displaced with respect to each other by a known angle. By varying the relative position of the sensors according to a predefined pattern, it...

The Linear Quadratic Consensus Control (LQCC) problem is a relaxation of the classical Linear Quadratic Regulation (LQR) problem, that consists of asymptotically driving the state of the system to a "consensus" point in which all coordinates are equal, in such a way that a quadratic cost function on the transient of the state trajectory and the...

The performance of guided weapon systems is primarily expressed by the end-of-flight effect, routinely approximated by the miss distance. It is however equally important that certain system variables of interest are kept within given bounds all along the duration of the flight. In this paper, we propose a method to evaluate such bounds in...

The adjoint simulation method is a well established and efficient tool for the preliminary analysis and design of conceptual guidance systems. Generally, the method is applicable when the guidance system is driven by either deterministic and/or stochastic signals. However, the focus of this paper will be on deterministic input signals. We start...

The Adjoint Method is a well establised tool for assessement of guidance loops in conceptual design studies. It allows one to perform quick assessments of the performance both in deterministic settings, to determine a nominal or average miss distance, and in stochastic settings, to determine the standard deviation of the miss distance. The...

Since saturation often plays an important role in limiting the performance of guidance loops, performance analysis of guidance loops with saturation has been a popular subject of investigation. Most work so far has concentrated on the effect of saturation on stochastic performance of guidance loops, using as an essential tool stochastic...

The problem of evaluating the performance of an uncertain guidance loop system is considered, when the uncertainty is described in terms of an integral quadratic constraint. The idea of the approach proposed in this paper is to determine the set of all possible state vector values at the end of the flight that are compatible with the model...

The nature of the missile interception problem with two noncooperative players leads to the field of differential games. Introducing nonlinear uncertain models can potentially lead to nonexistence of game theoretic equilibrium strategies, computationally intractable problems, and/or highly reduced performance of the strategies. The objective is...

The adjoint simulation method is a well established and efficient tool for gaining insight and understanding of key parameters affecting the behaviour and performance of a guided missile homing system. Traditionally, the method has been employed by various missile companies during the preliminary and conceptual stages of new missile programs. A...

Robust programming, and more specific LMI techniques, have proven to be an extremely effective tool for the synthesis of missile guidance laws. The advantage of this model-based approach is that a large class of uncertainties can be taken into account and a robust guidance law is obtained. In this paper the class of uncertainties applicable for...

The COVAD toolbox is a MATLAB/Simulink based tool conceived and developed for the rapid analysis and simulation of stochastically driven dynamic systems. In addition to a generic Monte Carlo capability, the toolbox is also supported by traditional analytical techniques such as the adjoint and covariance analysis methods. However, these latter...
