Optimum design of the control system for a laser beam riding guidance anti-tank missile

The optimum theory and methods were adopted to design the laser beam riding guidance anti-tank missile's control system in the short run. Through building the mathematical model of system, selecting a proper method and taking advantage of computer's high-speed calculation and logic traits, an optimal controller was designed. Simulation results show that the designed control system has fair performance and satisfies the tactical and technical requirements. The results also demonstrate that by the combination of the optimizing methods and the computer, the control system could be designed as soon as possible.
