In this paper, digital autopilot design methods are investigated and a new method is suggested in order to improve existing problems. The method is based on .delta. transform (1) and overcome numerical problems occurring in the process of discretization. We illustrate design procedures using .delta. transform and suggest a hardware and software structure for digital autopilot implemented by microprocessor.

This paper deals with the digital autopilot implementation for a launch vehicle. We propose a hardware and software system for digital autopilot implemented by microprocessor. The hardware system designed in this paper consists of CPU and memory board with 80286 MPU and 80287 NPU and I/O interface with A/D and D/A converters. The software system developed is composed of power-on self-test program, initializing program, interrupt service program, and control program. The performance of the overall system controlled by the digital autopilot implemented in this paper is evaluated via real-time simulations, which show that the control performances are satisfactory.

잠수함이 저심도 조건에서 특수임무 수행시, 표면파도 및 조류등 외란의 영향하에서 요구심도 및 위치 유지를 위한 강인한 자동항법장치 설계는, 첨단 군용 잠수함 개발에 필수적이다. 본 연구는 잠수함 조종 운동역학계에 기초하여, 정확한 심도 및 피치 운동 제어를 위해 선형 행렬 부등식을 이용한 혼합 $H_2/H_{\infty}$ 설계법을 사용, 다중 목적 함수로 표현된 잠수함의 조종성능들을 개선하였다. 또한, 제어기 설계법의 타당성을 수치 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증하였다. 결과적으로 본 제어법은 각종 외란 및 계의 불확실성하에서 잠수정의 만족스러운 과도 상태 응답과 일정 심도 유지 및 피치 각도 변동 최소화에 적합한 강인한 방법임이 검증되었다.

This paper presents the aircraft autopilot system with a pre-designed gain schedule. It is mainly consisted of the parameter estimation end the autopilot system design. For off-line parameter estimation, leastsquare methods are investigated. The design of a controller is done in frequenced domain using classical control method and it is designed to satisfy the predetermined requirement such as time constant and transient response. Finally, it is compared with a optimal regulator.

This paper presents the configuration, HILS procedure and performance simulation results of the RPV autopilot including a strapdown AHRS. Real time hardware-in-the-loop simulation was performed by using a 3 axis flight motion simulator alonged assumed flight trajectory of the RPV. Being compared with the result of the 6 DOF simulation, the HILS results showed that the performance of the autopilot was satisfactory.

VOR/DME is the short range radio navigation system for much of the world. The navigation with VOR/DME is used for a long time because of its reliability. It can be used for almost all civil aircraft. To simulate the small aircraft's autopilot system based on VOR/DME system, we developed a simulator by using SIMULINK. The output panel of the simulator was developed according to the cockpit instrument of an actual aircraft. To verify the performance of the simulator several scenarios were planned. And we showed that the simulator performed well.

A robust controller is proposed to design a flight autopilot for lateral motion control. The control system has two control loops in order to meet the performance and to maintain the stability-robustness for a nonsquare flight system with uncertain aerodynamic variations and disturbance. One is designed via linear quadratic Gaussian with loop transfer recovery(LQG/LTR) design methodology for the inner loop. The other is designed via proportional controller design method for the outer loop. To show the effectiveness of this control system, it is compared with the LQG/LTR control system for a square flight system and is analyzed for the performance/stability-robustness to model uncertainties and disturbance via wind gusts. It is found that the proposed control system has good heading command-following performance under allowable sideslip angle in spite of model uncertainties and disturbance.

In this paper, a flight test method is described for the system identification of the unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with an automatic flight control system. Multistep inputs are applied for both longitudinal mode and lateral/directional excitation. Optimal time step for excitation is sought to provide the broad input bandwidth. A programmed mode flight test method provides high-quality flight data for system identification using the flight control computer with the longitudinal and lateral/directional autopilot which enables the separation of each motion during the flight test. In addition, exact actuating input that is almost equivalent to the designed one guarantees the highest input frequency attainable. Several repetitive flight tests were implemented in the calm air in order to extract the consistent system model for the air vehicle. The enhanced airborne data acquisition system endowed the high-quality flight data for the system identification. The flight data were effectively used to the system identification of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

항공기가 평형상태로 비행하는 도중 돌풍과 같은 외부교란을 만난 교란상태운동은 선형화된 미분방정식으로 표현되며 비교적 짧은 비행시간동안의 비행은 선형시 불변계가 된다. 돌풍은 Gauss-Markov확률과정으로 모델링 되며, 항공기가 돌풍을 만난 교란상태운동은 시스템론적으로 보면 백색잡음이 성형필터를 거쳐 계에 입력되는 것과 같다. 초기의 설계방법은 고전적인 주파수영역에서의 해석방법을 사용하였으나 1960년대에 최적제어이론이 도입되면서 평가함수를 사용하여 원하는 비행특성을 얻는 방법을 사용하게 되었다. 그 후 계에 입력되는 외란과 측정시의 잡음으로 인한 불확실한 측정량으로부터 최적상태변수의 추정을 위해 필터링이론을 도입한 확률제어이론을 적용하여 자동조종장치를 설계하게 되었다. 이때까지는 연속제어계로 설계되었으며 그 후 측정신호를 샘플링하여 연속제어계와 등가의 이산제어계를 사용한 자동조종장치가 등장하였으며 이 경우 설계기법으로는 연속제어계를 사용하고 실현시킬 때는 디지털컴퓨터를 사용하였다. 이는 제어하는 동안 계의 계수와 제어법칙을 바꾸어 줄 수 있는 이산제어계의 장점을 이용하지 못하므로 처음부터 계를 등가의 이산계로 보고 제어계를 설계하는 방법이 도입되었다. 이 때 샘플링간격의 결정과 Quantization 영향이 설계시 고려되어야 한다.

This paper is concerned with the design of neural-network based autopilot control system. In this paper, the back-propagation algorithm is introduced and explained in detail. The system identification method based on neural networks for ship motion is developed and its efficacy is verified by using a simple ship maneuvering model. Problems which may arise in a complex maneuvering model are then discussed. The neural-network based system identification method developed in this paper can be used effectively for reconstructing the ship maneuvering moodel which is known to have nonlinearity.
