Abstract. high nonlinearity and deficiency in control at boost-phase due to high angle of
attack during maneuver and low velocity in the vertical launched missile. The necessity of
high maneuverability and vertical launching require thrust vector control additional to
aerodynamic control. effectively increasing the alertness of the missile against air defense
threats by using That mixture usage of aerodynamic and thrust vector controls. Critical design
of guidance and control is difficult and critical due to requirement and the rapidly changing
dynamics of this type of missiles. The aim of this paper is to design autopilot with
aerodynamics surfaces(fin)and thrust vector control by system characteristics reflection. by
using Missile Lebadev Program (MLP) the model is developed based on the configuration of
operating missile. Two control systems are aimed, which usages the command trajectory result
optimization and the pitch rate controller which tracks real-time guidance command. The
guidance and control strategy are developed through an actuation systems and autopilot design
in the two channels pitch and roll based on the poles assignment technique. The investigation
of the performance of pitch autopilot and its ability to reject disturbances due to cross-coupling
between pitch and roll channels showed that, the pitch channel can reject disturbances within
average time 3.5 sec.

Introduction
Missile categories is classes into two section: tactical and strategic missiles, tactical one track short
range maneuvering and stationary target where it’s guidance and control more critical [1,2]. where
for long range and knowing target strategic one is used. strategic and tactical missiles are operate
in exo,endo-atmospheric conditions respectively. Due to fast developing in warfare, higher turn
rates and larger maneuverability envelopes while reduced storage values required for tactical
missiles. Unusual missile control technology produced from high angle of attack maneuver regime
and lateral acceleration capability increasing. Thrust vector control (TVC)and\or side jet
technology is some advanced missiles combine classical control technology [3,18]. starting of the
jet vane thrust control starting with V-2 missile and still up till now in thrust vector control
technology.in the initial stage of launching, highely speed, the control stability requirement is seen
by (TVC) system [4,26]. TVC system is make fast change in orientation of thrust vector and add
necessary lateral force to make fast change in flight path. jet vane system is conventional to many
TVC systems like jet taps, secondary injection of liquid\gas into the nozzle gas flow and the flex
nozzle [5,6]. tactical missiles due to small value torque, small space requirements, and the ability
to control pitch, roll, and yaw simultaneously. Detecting of missile deviation from reference
trajectory is one of guidance system tasks. And send signals to control system to error
minimization. Maneuvering the missile quickly and efficiently as a result of these signals is the
control systems task.by Cartesian system or polar system the missiles control system is carried out.
Two signals are produced from angular error detector in the Cartesian system. Up-down and left-
right which are applied to separate servos like rudder and elevators servo[7,8,21]. However, in
polar coordinate system the usual method is to regard signal as a command to roll control through
an angle ( ). The guided missile is controlled in Cartesian either aerodynamically by control
surfaces or altering the thrust direction and/ or magnitude. The later method of control (TVC) is of
interest in this thesis.
This control method does not depend on dynamically pressure of the atmosphere but defective
motor burn out. It is the intentional change of the thrust vector in accordance with the control
demand. Hence, changing the motion behavior of the missile due to moment and thrust force [4].
One of the most desirable reasons for using TVC is the vertical launch phase of all ballistic missiles
whose total weight is well over 90% fuel to avoid dynamic loading[9,19,20].
As a conclusion guidance and control strategy works for minimizing the errors between actual
trajectory and required trajectory (guidance constraints) in the powered flight with high penalty at
impact point or shut-off/burn out velocity. Hence, there are two approaches for dealing with the
sources of errors through guidance and control strategies design:
• To consider all sources of error except the inertial navigation errors. i.e., the actual
trajectory as same as the measured trajectory and this can be achieved by using a very
high sophisticated precise inertial navigation system[10,25].

• To consider all sources of error modeled as disturbances for the system and
measurements errors. This deal to a problem of state estimation for obtaining actual
trajectory states.
Thrust change with time is one of the most related characteristics of thrust vector control and Flight
condition independently. But aerodynamics control depends on flight conditions like dynamics
pressure velocity and altitude. The main design parameter knowing the capability of TVC and
aerodynamically control during flight.TVC systems limited when the thrust deflection angle is
maximum. Angle between missile center line and thrust line is thrust deflection angle. Related
parameter to vane deflection angle is temperature, geometry, nozzle exhaust velocity, material and
thickness. Design parameter like jet vane shape ,vane in nozzle placement exhaust Mach number is
total deflect thrust angle etc[].maximum deflection of total thrust with TVC Technologies.90 degree
launch angle ,4.5 Mach maximum velocity,not sustain motor after boost motor velocity decreases
,25000,28000 range and altitude,this all parameter to analyze trajectory and ballistic
velocity[11,12,24].
The automatic flight control systems for ballistic missiles encounter generally constraints:
The ballistic missile quality performance in powered phase flight is studied in two distinct, through
related phases. Dynamics of motion around center of gravity (Autopilot \short period dynamics) and
the center of gravity(cg) dynamics (Flight path control \long period dynamics) as mentioned before in
chapter one. Fig.1.
Aim of any autopilot system achieving stability and fast, well-damped response to input control
command with insensitivity to external disturbances[13,14].

The major design problems arise because a missile is unstable aerodynamically; the inertia
instrumentation effect and actuator introduce more complications.
design of the autopilot, primarily, based on a linear dynamic model; making use of:
• Linear perturbation model from the nominal conditions.
Hence, the powerful techniques of linear analysis [7,8] are exploited most fully to synthesize the
autopilot configuration that meets design requirements of the control problem.

The design of most actuation systems is depend on the system requirements is that the actuation
must deliver a specific moment to overcome the hinge/load moment For example, we must know
what is the max deflection angles needed for the control demand?, max hinge moment for system
design, maximum frequency or bandwidth of the system operations[11]. Depend on the
requirements of the system as maximum deflection angle required about , max hinge moment
about and the frequency about . Fig.4 shows the closed loop of actuation system design[16].
The actuation system closed loop transfer function can be written as:

The main problem for designing a controller involves careful choice of zero(s) and the pole(s) to
modify the root locus or frequency response of the uncompensated system so that the performance

in satisfied performance. In many real cases, however, gain adjusting alone may not supply enough
change of the system response to meet the required specifications. As in case, steady-state
performance is improved by gain increasing but poor in stability will find or instability then cause
necessary redesign for the system. In more real cases, compensation is basically a concession between
relative stability & steady-state error[17,22]. Using the compromise design technique the controller
transfer function can be written as:
k 33 (1 + T33s)
w pc (s) = (12)
(T11s 2 + T22s + 1)
k ,T ,T ,T
Where 33 33 11 22 represents the proportional sensitivity gain of gyro and controller, and
time constants of the pitch controller respectively.
The derivative time is the time interval at which the rate actions development the effect of proportional
control (PI) action. Fig.5 shows the general shape of the pitch channel autopilot.
The pitch autopilot design open loop transfer function can be written as:
k (T33s + 1)
w (s) =
(13)
(T11s 2 + T22s + 1)(As 3 + Bs 2 + Cs + 1)
Then the calculation of the optimum gain of pitch channel autopilot can be calculated by:
o / p
k opt = k = (14)
fb o / p
Stability of linear closed loop is achieved by closed loop poles location in frequency domain. Location
of pole in right half of frequency domain mean that the system is unstable with time increasing gives
us rise to dominant mode, increasing in transient response monotonically or oscillate with increasing
amplitude elastic an unstable system.to overcome the unstable in the system we must redesign the
open loop transfer function yields to satisfactory relative stability and a high velocity error coefficient.
Law frequency required large gain near the cross over frequency .in high frequency the gain should
be decreased rapidly as soon as possible to minimize the effect of noise [3]. The autopilot especially
the controller is designed to stabilize the channel and satisfy the performance requirements. This

Using the tradeoff design procedure the roll controller transfer function, which is in the form of
PID, can be written as follows:
(s) k 22 (T4 s + 1) k4
= w (s) = + (15)
(s) (T5 s + T6 s + 1) (T7 s + 1)

Then, the general form of the roll controller can be written as:
k 55 (T44s + 1)(T55s + 1)
w (s) = (16)
(T5 s 2 + T6 s + 1)(T7 s + 1)
k ,T ,T ,T
Where 55 44 55 5, 6, 7 represents the proportional sensitivity gain, and time constants of the
roll controller respectively.
These times are function of control and aerodynamic derivatives which is a function of flight
trajectory. Fig.8 shows the general dynamical diagram of the roll autopilot with missile roll dynamics.
One of the lateral autopilot objectives is it reduce the cross coupling between pitch and yaw motions
[13]. If the missile has two axes of symmetry and there is no roll rate then, there will be no cross
coupling between pitch and yaw motion. Many missiles are allowed to roll freely and this rolling
produces acceleration in and axes causing coupling in pitch, yaw and coupling moment in pitch, yaw,
and angular motion in the other plane as the moment of inertia about the roll axis.
These cross coupling effects can be regarded as disturbances to which the closed loop system
should be considerably less sensitive than the open loop [16,17]. Thus, a rate gyro is utilized to reduce
this cross coupling. That is, the rolling can be considered as a disturbance effect on the pitch channel
control and has to be rejected through the autopilot design.
Fig.9 shows the effect of roll channel upon the pitch channel through cross coupling between them.

Conclusion
The analysis carried out in this paper, indicates that the missile maneuver is mainly restricted in the
pitch plane and consequently the analysis is performed for the pitch and roll dynamics. The results
show that, the missile dynamic motion in pitch and roll are unstable. Generally stability of missile is
achieved by designing autopilot system to control dynamic motion around center of gravity also
reasonable fast and well damped response for control request.
The problems of design arise due to the aerodynamic instability and the delay effects of
instrumentation and actuators. The autopilot consists of four channels: pitch, roll, yaw, and lateral.
The main problem for designing a controller involves careful choice of pole(s) and zeros(s) in order
to alter the root locus or frequency response of the uncompensated system. From the analysis of
pitch and roll channel we found that, with autopilot the performance of the missile is improved all
over the time of flight with gain margin and phase margin in the limits and settling time not
increased about . The investigation of the performance of pitch autopilot and its ability to reject
disturbances due to cross-coupling between pitch and roll channels showed that, the pitch channel
can reject disturbances in average .
