Case Study: Missile Guidance System


This chapter illustrates the process of designing and simulating a three-degrees-of-freedom missile guidance system using Simulink and the Aerospace Blockset. The following sections are included.
Missile Guidance System Model

Open the model that is used in this case study

Modeling Airframe Dynamics

Implement atmospheric equations and the equations of motion in the missile airframe.

Modeling a Classical Three-Loop Autopilot
Design the missile autopilot to control the acceleration normal to the missile body.
Modeling the Homing Guidance Loop
Design the homing guidance loop to track the target and generate the demands that are passed to the autopilot.
Simulating the Missile Guidance System
Simulate model and evaluate system performance.
Extending the Model
Examine a full six-degrees-of-freedom equations of motion representation.
