Missile Guidance System

This section explains how to design and simulate a three-degrees-of-freedom missile guidance system using Simulink and the Aerospace Blockset:

• Missile Guidance System Model shows how to open the model used in this case study.
• Modeling Airframe Dynamics describes how the atmospheric equations and the equations of motion in the missile airframe are implemented.
• Modeling a Classical Three-Loop Autopilot describes how to design the missile autopilot to control the acceleration normal to the missile body.
• Modeling the Homing Guidance Loop describes how to design the homing guidance loop to track the target and generate the demands that are passed to the autopilot.
• Simulating the Missile Guidance System describes how to simulate the model and evaluate system performance.
• Extending the Model examines a full six-degrees-of-freedom equations of motion representation.
• References provides a selected bibliography.
