Design and Testing of a Sensor Data Processing Unit for Dual-Control Missile Demonstrator

Abstract

The article discusses aspects of the design and testing of a sensor data processing unit whose function relates to the static and dynamic stabilization of a missile airframe. The authors present a mathematical model of dual-control missile dynamics, along with the autopilot implemented on the basis of two feedback loops – from acceleration and from angular rate of the airframe. The draft of the sensor data processing unit is presented in the form of three PCB packages, with connections for the installation of electronic components. In addition, a laboratory stand used in the experimental research, as well as selected results for the device are described.
