The paper presents a design methodology for the automatic flight control of a launch vehicle. In the proposed approach the controller has a PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) structure but its gains are determined solving an H∞ norm minimization problem of the mapping from the atmospheric disturbances to the control amplitude and to the angle of attack of the launcher. The design methodology is illustrated by numerical examples in which both time responses and stability robustness properties of the optimal PID controller are analyzed.

This paper presents a design approach for the automatic flight control system of a launch vehicle using a linear quadratic integral technique together with a fixed gain Kalman filter. Its purpose is to analyse the stability and tracking robustness performances of the control system designed via this approach when atmospheric disturbances, modeling uncertainties and structural flexible modes of the launcher are taken into account.
