Autopilot design for agile missile with aerodynamic fin and side thruster

This paper is concerned with a mixed control with aerodynamic fin and side thrusters applied to an agile missile using dynamic inversion and the Extended-Mean Assignment (EMA) control technique. The nonlinear dynamic inversion method with the weighting function allocates the desired control inputs (aerodynamic fin and side thrusters) to track a reference trajectory, and the EMA control technique guarantees the robustness for the uncertainties. The proposed schemes are validated by nonlinear simulations.
