The strategy of the cooperation of multiple TVC mechanisms and DCS is discussed. Moreover, the decision and control part in missiles: guidance law (GL) and autopilot is presented. The GL is designed with dynamic sliding mode control (DSMC) to eliminate the chattering phenomenon caused by sliding mode control (SMC) and to minimize the distance between the missile and the target without the estimation of interception time. The autopilot controller based on quaternion representation is designed using backstepping control technique to execute the attitude command. The stability of the integrated guidance/autopilot (G/A) system is analyzed by Lyapunov stability theory. In addition, we advocate a wingless missile to reduce the nonlinear effect from the aerodynamics as much as possible. Extensive simulations including aerodynamic model are finally demonstrated to verify the validity of the proposed integrated G/A systems of missiles incorporating the highly maneuverable inputs. ©2007 IEEE.Aerodynamics; Air; Control theory; Distributed parameter networks; Flight control systems; Gas dynamics; Mechanisms; Military data processing; Military equipment; Missiles; Mobile telecommunication systems; Ordnance; Sliding mode control; Stability; Aerodynamic modeling; autopilot controller; Autopilot systems; backstepping control technique; Chattering phenomenon; Dynamic sliding mode control; Extensive simulations; Flight controller design; Guidance law (GL); Lyapunov stability theory; Non linear effects; Quaternion representation; Sliding mode control (SMC); Thrust vector control (TVC) systems; Thrust-vector control (TVC); System stabilityFlight controller design for intercepting missiles with multiple TVC systems and DCSconference paper10.1109/ACC.2007.42825362-s2.0-46449139793
