Abstract |
When missile is launched, a launcher needs to be leveled with accuracy to avoid the systems's instability. In general, a launcher is leveled by adjusting the stroke of leveling jacks; however, it is still challenge to control the leveling jacks fast and accurately. This paper thus proposed an innovative algorithm for compensating ground inclination of a missile launcher to expand operational field of a missile launcher. Using two inclinometers attached on a launcher, a base jack for leveling is selected and the mixed gradient where launcher stands on can be estimated. Due to the limited stroke, the launcher can compensate its ground inclination within maximum stroke margin. Then, the ground inclination of a launcher can be compensated by calculated angle using weighting factors. The effectiveness of proposed algorithm is proved with a prototype missile launcher. |
