Control of designed target seeker, used in self-guided anti-aircraft missiles, by employing motors with a constant torque

This paper presents the results of research on control of a designed target seeker (Gapiński, D. 2008), which was carried out using of the so-called “signum” function. The technical feasibility of controlling the seeker axis in the phase of searching the air space with the simultaneous consideration of the process of scanning through the optoelectronic system of the head was verified. The numerical analysis of the device dynamics was presented and the analysis of the possibility of practical application previously mentioned method for the control of the designed seeker was conducted. The results are presented in a graphical form as well. First published online: 03 Apr 201
