Between rolling airframe missile and swirling propulsion jet passing through convergent-divergent nozzle of the rocket motor, occur exchanges of angular momentum which result in the increase of roll speed of the missile. This phenomena in called jet roll damping. In the study jet roll damping was formulated from conservation equation of angular momentum. And the maximum value of the jet roll damping of KPSAM was estimated with assumed swirl velocity distribution at nozzle exit and compared with result of computation of axisymmetric compressible turbulent nozzle flow.

In this study the aerodynamic characteristics of a canard-controlled missile with freely spinning tailfins were investigated by using a CFD code. The aerodynamic coefficients and roll-rate of freely spinning tailfins were calculated by an analysis of 6-DOF and the Euler code. Results were in good agreement with experimental data, and the roll-rates of freely spinning tailfins were also in good agreement with the experimental data for the roll and yaw canard control inputs. This indicates that the CFD Euler code can be applied to predict the canard-controlled missile with freely spinning tailfins.

In this study, roll lock-in phenomena of freely spinning tailfins were investigated by a CFD code. To analyze a motion of freely spinning tailfins, this research use a Chimera method, an Euler code and a 6 degrees of freedom analysis. The numerical results of aerodynamic characteristics and roll rates of a canard-controlled missile with freely spinning tailfins show a good agreement with wind tunnel test results. Using the roll rates calculation result of freely spinning tailfins, roll lock-in phenomena is confirmed. Roll lock-in phenomena and Roll lock-in states can be predicted through effects of the induced vortex of the canards control and the analysis of the rolling moments of tailfins due to the bank angle.

This paper presents an integrated roll-pitch-yaw autopilot using an equivalent based sliding mode control for skid-to-turn nonlinear time-varying missile system with lumped disturbances in its six-equations of motion. The considered missile model are developed to integrate the model uncertainties, external disturbances, and parameters perturbation as lumped disturbances. Moreover, it considers the coupling effect between channels, the variation of missile velocity and parameters, and the aerodynamics nonlinearity. The presented approach is employed to achieve a good tracking performance with robustness in all missile channels simultaneously during the entire flight envelope without demand of accurate modeling or output derivative to avoid the noise existence in the real missile system. The proposed autopilot consisting of a two-loop structure, controls pitch and yaw accelerations, and stabilizes the roll angle simultaneously. The Closed loop stability is studied. Numerical simulation is provided to evaluate performance of the suggested autopilot and to compare it with an existing autopilot in the literature concerning the robustness against the lumped disturbances, and the aforesaid considerations. Finally, the proposed autopilot is integrated in a six degree of freedom flight simulation model to evaluate it with several target scenarios, and the results are shown.

The operation of the precision-guided missiles with seekers is becoming more and more dominant since the modern wars became geographically localized like anti-terror campaigns and civil wars. Imaging seekers are relatively low-price and applicable to various operational conditions. The image tracker, however, requires highly advanced method for the target tracking under harsh missile flight condition. Missile roll can reduce the tracking performance since it introduces big differences in imagery. The missile roll is inevitable because of the disturbance and flight control error. Consequently, the errors of the subsystems should be under control for the stable performance of the tracker and the whole system. But the performance prediction by some simple metric is almost impossible since the target signature and the tracker are highly nonlinear. We established M&S tool for a precision-guided missile with imaging seeker and analyzed the roll effects to tracking and system performance. Furthermore, we defined the specification of missile subsystems through error analysis to guarantee system performance.

In this paper, we investigate three dimensional optimal evasive maneuver patterns for air-to-surface attack missiles against proportionally navigated anti-air defense missiles. Interception error of the defense missile can be generated by evasive maneuver of the attack missile during the time of flight for which the defense missile intercepts the attack missile. Time varying weighted sum of the inverse of these interception errors forms a performance index to be minimized. Direct parameter optimization technique using CFSQP is adopted to get the attack missile's optimal evasive maneuver patterns according to parameter changes of both the attack missile and the defense missile such as maneuver limit and time constant of autopilot approximated by the 1st order lag system. The overall shape of resultant optimal evasive maneuver to enhance the survivability of air-to-surface missiles against proportionally navigated anti-air missiles is a kind of deformed barrel roll.

This paper investigated the roll lock-in phenomena of a canard-controlled missile with freely spinning tailfins by applying Falanga's roll-rate equation. To confirm and validate the accuracy of the results of the roll-rate and roll lock-in prediction for freely spinning tailfins, the results were compared with Blair's wind tunnel test data. For calculation of the roll-rate of freely spinning tailfins, rolling moment coefficients of the tailfins were obtained from the wind tunnel test data and roll-damping coefficients were calculated by missile DATCOM. The roll-rate and roll lock-in of the freely spinning tailfins were calculated by applying these values to the roll-rate equation for freely spinning tailfins. The calculation results showed good agreement with the wind tunnel test data, and the roll lock-in could be anticipated as well.

In this study the aerodynamic characteristics of a canard-controlled missile with freely spinning tailfins were investigated by using a semi-empirical method and a CFD code. The mean aerodynamic coefficients for the rolling and roll damping moments were first calculated and then used to predict the roll-rate of freely spinning tailfins. The calculation of roll-rate in the CFD code was carried out by combining a Chimera overset grid system and 6-DOF analysis module. The predicted roll-rate was in good agreement with the experimental data for the roll and yaw canard control inputs. It was also shown that the results are in good agreement with the prediction by a CFD code. This indicates that the semi-empirical method can be used to predict the roll-rate of a canard-controlled missile with freely spinning tailfins.

Fuzzy logic is applied to a roll autopilot for missiles. Fuzzy rules are made so that the response duplicates that of the conventional control law for some flight condition. A scaling factor of the fuzzy controller is then scheduled by the missile velocity and altitude information to cope with the variation of the roll dynamics from that flight condition. By computer simulations and calculation of the stability margin, it is shown that the fuzzy control is robuster than the conventional one over the flight envelope even though two control laws work similarly for some flight conditions.

In this paper, we considered the one-shot alignment using master inertial navigation system (MINS) and slave inertial navigation system (SINS) in the missile to find the exact posture of a missile. In order to perform one-shot alignment, the tilt angle between MINS and SINS must be obtained, which can be compensated by obtaining the tilt angle between missile round and SINS. The tilt angle was calculated by using the roll rotation of missile round, jig for rotating the missile round and interface structure to measure the horizontal state by using a horizontal angle meter were constructed. As a result of the tilt angle save (TAS) inspection, the tilt angle ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$, ${\gamma}$ is normal range and it is possible to perform one-shot alignment by compensating this value.
