Controllability
  • Definition Given the system
  • Controllability The pair (A,B) is said to be
    controllable iff at the initial time t0 there
    exist a control function u(t) which will transfer
    the system from its initial state x(t0) to the
    origin in some finite time. If this statement is
    true for all time, then the system is "Completely
    Controllable".

13
Controllability contd
  • Is the full-information nonlinear model of the
    projectile, with no wind, controllable such that
    it will land within a terminal set T, for a given
    number of discrete, fixed magnitude impulses?
  • Note that the control impulses have additional
    constraints which include
  • each control impulse can only be fired once
  • presences of a dwell-time between firings
  • finite burn time

14
Controllability, contd
  • Three approaches to the nonlinear controllability
    problem with finite, discrete impulses are
    investigated
  • Bang-Bang control
  • Impulsive dynamical systems
  • Naïve control design

15
Bang-Bang Control
  • The problem is to find a feasible bang-bang
    control action that takes the system from a given
    initial point to a given terminal point with time
    being a free parameter.
  • Minimum fuel optimal control problem
  • Unfortunately, the theory of minimum-fuel systems
    is not as well developed as the theory of
    minimum-time systems. Also the design of
    fuel-optimal controllers is more complex that
    time-optimal controllers. In fact there may not
    exist a fuel-optimal control, with a finite
    number of discrete thrusters, that drive the
    projectile from any initial state to the origin
    (controllable).

16
Impulsive Dynamical Systems
  • Many systems exhibit both continuous- and
    discrete-time behaviors which are often denoted
    as hybrid systems. Impulsive dynamical systems
    can be viewed as a subclass of hybrid systems and
    consist of three elements
  • a continuous-time differential equation, which
    governs the motion of the dynamical system
    between impulsive or resetting events
  • a difference equation, which governs the way the
    system states are instantaneously changed when a
    resetting event occurs
  • and a criterion for determining when the states
    of the system are to be reset.

17
Impulsive Dynamical Systems contd
The projectile control problem can be viewed as
an impulsive dynamical system, whose analysis can
be quite involved. In the general situation, such
systems can exhibit infinitely many switches,
beating, etc. Controllability of hybrid systems
is a hot topic currently, and despite the
numerous papers on the topic efficient numerical
algorithms that provide control algorithms is
still lacking.
18
Naïve Control Strategy
  • Projectile control algorithms are often
    synthesized in an ad hoc manner. These solutions
    are logic based and involve testing a performance
    criteria at each time step.
  • Consider the following control strategy to drive
    a projectile from a given state to a target set
  • If current state in the target set, STOP
  • Given current point (after apex). If an impulse
    is not active then compute the corresponding
    impact state and the miss distances.
  • Numerically integrate EOM to determine impact
    location
  • If miss distance is within tolerance, NO ACTION
    taken.
  • If miss distance is less than target set, FIRE
    in positive direction
  • If miss distance is more than target set, FIRE
    in negative direction
  • Under some conditions, NCS results in optimal
    solution.

19
Simulations
  • Ideal assumptions include
  • Restricting the problem to two dimensions (x,y)
  • No wind, target location, projectile
    position/velocity known
  • Each impulse can be fired more than once
  • Infinitely many impulses
  • Point mass model
  • Physical parameters
  • weight, 33 lbs
  • muzzle velocity and angle 235 m/s, 50 degs
  • impulse duration and magnitude 0.015 /- .0002s,
    5.0 /-0.3 g
  • sample time, 0.005s
  • Impact error tolerance 0.1m
  • Unaided projectile path 2772 m

21
Point mass model
  • Impact point computed exactly, 39 shots required
  • Due to numerical errors, two extra shots were
    needed
  • Chattering caused by numerical integration
    errors, which is typical of NCS algorithm

22
Rigid body model
  • Impact point within 0.1m, 9 shots required
  • Due to numerical errors, series of extra shots
    were needed

25
Tradeoff Accuracy
  • Total impulse force constant, shots x impulse
    245g
  • More shots Increased accuracy, more complex
  • Less shots Less accurate, cheaper

26
Initial Findings
  • It is easier to hit targets beyond the initial
    trajectory
  • Function of the limited flight time of the
    projectile and computation delay
  • If the target is overshot, the projectile may not
    be able to react fast enough to bring it down in
    time.
  • Current configurations allow for no more than a
    225 meter overshoot and 310 meter undershoot

27
Summary
  • Interesting class of control systems for which
    there has been a limited amount of theoretical
    results
  • For the short term, focus on better understanding
    the naïve control strategy
  • Rigid body equations of motion
  • Atmospheric disturbances
  • Trajectory tracking versus end point control
  • Over the long term, develop a mathematical
    framework for control of nonlinear systems with
    a finite number of discrete, finite duration,
    fixed magnitude impulses.
