A dynamic simulation and feedback control scheme for the U.S. Marine Corps' Airborne Remotely Operated Device (AROD).
dynamicsimulatio00bass.pdf (7.357Mb)Abstract
The equations of motion for a ducted fan hovering device
are developed and programmed in a computer simulation.
Experimental aerodynamic data is integrated with the
computer model. A feedback control scheme for the multipleinput,
multiple-output system is determined using optimal
control techniques. Time response results are obtained and
analyzed.
As a separate issue, the body of the device is modelled
for electromagnetic analysis and a basic antenna design is
determined for UHF transmission.
