Attitude control of missiles via finite-terms Fliess expansion

This paper investigates the attitude control of missiles. We use the decomposed Fliess functional expansion of input-output decomposable systems to describe the outputs. Then under piece-wise constant admissible value controls, the optimal control on finite time durations can be obtained. The method tremendously reduces the complexity of computation and makes the online control design available. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown by numerical simulations.
