Abstract

This work follows Capt. R.L. Riddle's 1989 thesis (ADA216147) which compared conventional, H2 and H controlled guided missiles in simulated flyouts against an airborne target. The simulation results did not clearly demonstrate the H2 and H controller advantages. In this study the missile model and simulation were refined. In addition to simulation runs, performance, noise attenuation, and μ (structural singular value) robustness analyses were conducted. Results showed areas where improvement was needed in the H2 and H controllers used in the study. An H2 and H controller redesign is recommended using the μ synthesis design technique. Additional simulation runs are also recommended to examine whether the improved controllers reduce miss distances.
