Abstract :
The stability robustness of the longitudinal dynamics of a closed-loop remotely piloted vehicle-the X7 half scale flying model of the ARMOR RPV-with uncertain parameters is considered. Techniques based on Lyapunov analysis and Gershgorin´s theorem are used to predict a guaranteed parameter space for closed-loop stability. A large stochastic sampling is used to assess the conservatism of the results.
