Abstract
The pitch plane manoeuvring characteristics of a solid propellant miss ile under captive firing conditions are considered. Analysis technique s are used to establish the dynamic model of the suspended, lumped par ameter representation of the vehicle, which is regulated directionally by thrust vectoring. Three-term feedback control is employed to confi ne the response of the system to both demanded input changes and exter nal load disturbances from airstream turbulence and defensive projecti le debris strikes. Simulated manoeuvring characteristics are computed for demonstration purposes.
