This paper describes a new LOS(Line-of-Sight) estimator for BTT missiles. The dynamic models of LOS rate and a seeker are derived. Based on these dynamic models, we design a nonlinear estimator, which takes into account roll motion of BTT missiles and sensor noises. Simulation results show that the LOS rate estimates of the proposed estimator are more accurate than those of the conventional estimator.

In contrast with STT missiles, the guidance law design for BTT missiles should be based on 3-dimensional pursuit kinematics, since the pitch and roll channels of BTT missiles are coupled dynamically. More generally than the prior works, the dynamics of pitch and roll channels, as well as 3-dimensional pursuit kinematics are considered in the design of our terminal-phase optimal guidance law for BTT missiles proposed in this paper. Thereby, the proposed optimal guidance law guarantees high capturability with small miss distance without significant performance degradation due to time-lag effect even in case of relatively slow autopilot dynamics. Moreover, the resulting optimal guidance law is expressed explicitly in feedback-form with the coefficients given as the functions of time-to-go. The effectiveness and practicality of our work is demonstrated through various simulation results.

This paper presents polar converting logic(PCL) of BTT missiles against slowly moving or stationary targets. A guidance commands expressed in rectangular coordinates must be converted in the form of polar coordinates for BTT control. Since conventional PCL has nonlinear and discontinuous function, the missiles may lose controllability when pitch acceleration command equals to zero. Further, roll coupling may have a serious unstabilizing influence on homing guidance with two gimbals seeker. In this paper, a linear homotopy equation is introduced to improve the controllability and a command following performance at midcourse phase. We also design a PCL which is less sensitive to pitch acceleration command so that it may improve the stability of the homing loop. To substantiate our conclusion, results of the computer simulation have been illustrated.

Due to a recently developed approach to autopilot controller design for highly-maneuvering BTT (bank-to-turn) missiles, we now can derive explicitly the final-phase optimal guidance (OG) law considering the autopilot dynamics through direct use of the well-known linear optimal control theory. The proposed OG law can decrease the miss distance (MD) remarkably with small acceleration and roll rate profile at the time of interception.

최근 개발된 비선형 자동조종 제어기를 사용하면 비행 환경에 무관하게 BTT 미사일의 입출력 동특성이 일정한 선형 시스템의 형대로 표현될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 특성을 바탕으로 BTT 미사일이 목표물의 취약 지점을 정밀하게 요격할 수 있도록 자동조종장치 동역학의 시간 지연 효과를 고려하여 표적 충돌각을 최소화하는 최적 종말 유도 법칙을 설계하였다. 제안된 최적 종말 유도 법칙은 극좌표 변환을 사용하지 않기 때문에 가제어성을 보장하며, 가속도 편향값을 사용하지 않기 때문에 기존의 유도 법칙에 비하여 미사일의 기동성을 향상시킬 수 있는 장점을 갖는다.

This paper presents a method for designing an autopilot of the BTT missile using 2DOF Wiener-Hopf control technique to improve tracking performance. Linear controllers are designed based on the linearized models which are obtained from the nonlinear missile dynamic equations at various operating points. The gain scheduling technique is used to implement the final autopilot. A simulation on the flight of missiles is carried out through the use of 6DOF equation program including exact nonlinear equations of the missile and the variations of aerodynamic variables in order to check applicability of the suggested method in real situation.

미사일의 표적 충돌각을 원하는 각도로 제어하는 것은 표적의 취약점을 공략하기 위해 필수적인 기술이다. 표적 타격 지점 및 충돌각을 고려하지 않으면 타격에 성공하였다고 하더라도 표적의 방어 능력이 좋거나 신관이 충돌각에 민감하면 표적의 효과적인 파괴에 실패할 수도 있다. 이런 경우 유도 미사일의 종말 유도 효율을 증가시키기 위해 미사일이 표적을 타격하는 각도인 표적 충돌각(Impact Angle)을 제어할 수 있으면 적정 비행경로의 설정에 유리하고 우회공격 등이 가능할 뿐 아니라 미사일 탄두의 효과를 극대화할 수 있다. 하지만 이러한 장점을 갖는 표적 충돌각 유도 기법에 대한 연구는 아직 활발하게 행해지고 있지는 못하다. 기존 연구 결과들은 2차원 평면상에서의 충돌각 제어만을 다루고 있어, 요와 피치 채널의 커플링 문제가 있는 BTT 미사일에 적용하기가 어렵다는 문제점을 갖고 있다. 또한 미사일 동역학을 무시하거나 단순화하여 문제를 풀고 있기 때문에 실제 상황에 적용이 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 3차원 공간상에서의 롤 명령을 모두 포함하면서 동시에 미사일 자동조종제어기, 핀 구동기 동역학을 모두 고려한 새로운 BTT 미사일의 표적 충돌각 유도 기법을 제안한다.

An autopilot for the class of Bank-To-Turn missiles is developed using a multivariable plant model & control design methodology. The roll-pitch-yaw cross coupling is included in the design considerations. Feedback system is designed using the Linear Quadratic Gaussian with Loop Transfer Recovery (LQG/LTR). Nonlinear simulations are presented to demonstrate the performances of the designed system.
