Improved Backstepping Control with Adaptive Estimation for Nonlinear Missile Systems

What is it about?

The quick responding requires strong maneuverability capability, which can be obtained by increasing the angle of attack during the flight. However, maneuvering with a high angle of attack may result in the nonlinear aerodynamics. Therefore, the self-tuning control approach is adopted to design controller for the missile system. By incorporating the missile dynamic parameter estimation into the back-stepping control law, the influence of uncertain dynamics is eliminated, and the robustness of the system is enhanced.
