This report examines the control of vehicle movement in three-dimensional space. This involves the planning and creation of adapted target trajectories for the control variables and their regulation. The main point of emphasis in the model-assisted multivariable design is in improving the degree of guidance accuracy, taking due account of any uncertainties there may be in the model. The control system comprises two parts: a H_#infinity#robust/H_2-optimum multivariable controller for counteracting unknown sources of interference (feedback control) and a trainable pilot control system using a nonlinear inverse model for achieving the guidance behaviour required (feedforward control). The investigations are simulated taking a submarine as an e...
