Pole Placement Method for Missile Control System Design

This paper presents the design of a three-channel missile control system using the pole placement method to achieve attitude angle control during vertical ascent and pitch phases. Through simulation at selected characteristic points, the overall system performance meets design requirements. However, the control law designed with this approach has inherent limitations. While it demonstrates excellent short-term performance, the system experiences significant oscillations beyond a certain time point. To address these issues, implementation could involve integrating alternative control methods or developing hybrid approaches that combine multiple techniques. Such enhancements would improve control stability and reliability in missile systems, contributing to advancements in military applications. From a coding perspective, the pole placement algorithm typically involves calculating feedback gains using MATLAB's place() or acker() functions to position closed-loop poles at desired locations for dynamic response shaping.
