Advanced flexible pointing testbed and control system design

1996 
Fast high-precision control is essential for flexible pointing systems, such as gun turret systems, which will be required to perform their mission in the presence of disturbances, parametric uncertainties and malfunctions. To control such complex systems requires advanced computer control systems and control methods due to numerous data processing and robustness requirements. A powerful control system integrating the state of the art in computer hardware and software, which is developed for a testbed of the flexible pointing system: gun turret system located at ARDEC, is presented in this paper. The hardware configuration, specifications and interfaces as well as the software environment are described in detail. The modeling, identification and robust control design of the testbed are investigated and discussed. The implementation procedure of advanced control algorithms is presented executing the real-time control of the gun turret testbed; and the experimental results are also presented and analysed.
