Controller design for a trajectory tracking missile by using inverse dynamics method

Abstract

In this thesis, a controller for a missile desired to track a given trajectory is designed by using the nonlinear inverse dynarnics(NID) method. The nonlinear dynamic equations describing the motion of the missile are linearized from input to the output by using the NID method without any need to the linearizing approximations as in the conventional linearizing method. Hence, designed controller for the linearized system stabilizes the nonlinear system over entire range of the operating points. Two approaches used in the controller design are presented in this thesis.
