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.viii, 53 leaves, illustrationsEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAutopilotguidancemissilenonlinear systemsinverse dynamicsgain schedulingtwo-time scale systemsTJ213 .T87 1996Nonlinear systems.Automatic control.Thesis
