Research on compound control technique with lateral impulsive thrust vector for air defence missile

The short-period movement model of pitch-yaw channel was established for advanced air defense missile by compound control system with lateral impulsive thrust vector and aerodynamic force. The compound control system was designed by using linear quadratic optimal tracking control theory, and concluded to have strong robusticity from analyzing the nonlinear tolerance of control variables. Simulation results show that this compound control system has quick response characteristic and perfect tracking performance for guidance command, its precision can meet the need of hit-to-kill.
