Multivariable systems design: a two ships controller for replenishment at sea.
Abstract
An investigation of the maneuvering control of two ships in the
replenishment at sea operation, seen as a multivariable system, is carried
out.
The mathematical model of the ships motion in three degrees of freedom
is established and implemented for the formation of digital computer programs
and approximated for the study of steady state decoupling.
Using parameter optimization techniques, the necessary control loops
are designed with the aid of a digital computer. The station keeping
problem of the underway operation is simulated and the results compared
and analyzed.
