Abstract

In this paper, the decision parts of a launch rocket---guidancelaw (GL) and autopilot---are discussed. In the controller design,the differential geometry and sliding mode control are employed.In addition to the individual GL and autopilot system, stabilityof the integrated guidance/autopilot (G/A) system are discussed.Finally, various simulations are demonstrated to examine thefeasibility and performance of the rocket's integrated G/A system.
