Abstract

This paper proposes an effective missile radome error compensator by incorporating a nondestructive dither on the missile guidance loop to improve tracking accuracy. The compensation strategy predicts the radome slope error by introducing the dithering techniques along with band-pass filtering mechanism. A new condition is derived to ensure the guidance and control system stability while there is in the presence of the compensation error. As an application, the design methodology is extended to deal with the gimbal friction compensation problem. Simulation study confirms efficacy of our proposed approach.
