Design and Simulation of Passive Controller for Guided Rockets

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to increase the density of guided rockets, a passive control method was proposed to reduce the trajectory dispersion caused by initial disturbances, thrust misalignment, vertical wind, etc. at the end of boost phase. The basic principle of passive control method was introduced briefly, and then the disturbance motion equations for the rocket projectile were established. The effective conditions to implement passive control on guided rockets were put forward. A technical scheme of installing elastic sabots on rocket projectile was proposed to realize passive control and a simulation was conducted. The simulation results indicate that the passive control scheme can effectively decrease the velocity direction deviation caused by various disturbances factors at the end of boost phase.
