A Robustness Analysis Procedure for Realistic Missiles

This paper presents a robustness analysis procedure for short range realistic missile autopilots. The sensitivity of the autopilots to the aerodynamic parameter uncertainties is investigated through the structured singular value theory where the results are verified through nonlinear simulations. Different types of perturbations are implemented in order to measure the complete performance of the missile.
