Stabilization and DOB-based disturbance rejection for MBT gun-barrel elevation drive
Abstract
Control systems for main battle tanks become more important while the vehicles become more complex. Mobile vehicles in battlefield lead to the requirement of firing during the motion instead of pausing each time the main battle tank engages a target. This demand can be achieved by weapon control system that minimize the tank hull movement effects on the barrel. Systems designed for this stabilization task are basically closed loop servo systems that control the angular position of the barrel by using feedback signals produced by a rate gyroscope mounted on the barrel (breech) to measure its angular velocity. Second-generation control systems contain an extra gyro which feeds the tanks movement forward in the system to make the turret more sensitive and rapid against the disturbance due to tanks movement. In this paper we use a disturbance observer that do not require measurements of muzzle angular velocity and rough terrain caused disturbance due to tank movement. Designed observer eliminate the requirement for measurements of near-perfect feedforward signal.
