Research of Trajectory Tracking Control of Cruise Missile Based on Observer

To achieve cruise missile accurate trajectory tracking control, an observer-based tracking control method is designed. An observer is developed to estimate the states and control signals of desired trajectory as the inputs of the tracking controller. The linear quadratic optimal control is used to realize full-state feedback control for trajectory tracking. A certain cruise missile is used for the tracking simulation and the result shows satisfactory performance, the control method is simple and suitable for engineering applications.
