Abstract:PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe the application of a systematic single‐range controller design procedure to control a cruise missile.Design/methodology/approachThe controller design approach is based on one describing function model of the missile followed by linear system identification. The missile includes discontinuous nonlinear terms, and therefore, a small signal model is not obtainable by straight linearization. Once a linear approximation to the quasilinear model of the missile is obtai… Show more
