DESIGN OF AUTOPILOTS FOR TACTICAL AEROSPACE VEHICLES: A COMPARITIVE STUDY

The objective of this paper is to provide an analysis of some of the control techniques for autopilot design for tactical aerospace vehicles (TAV). The major contribution of this paper is to bring together few control techniques used for the design of autopilot for TAVs and assessment of the performance of the autopilots with the same airframe dynamics as comparative study. A comparative account of control methods has been presented on the basis of system performance, which will be helpful in selection of proper control. The control design and analysis has been illustrated through simulation exercise.
