Gutman (mechanical engineering, Israel Institute of Technology/Technion) has divided the material of this volume into two main topics: control of uncertain dynamical systems and optimal guidance for homing missiles. Part One details the design of an autopilot using robust controllers for linear time-invariant plants having fixed parameters. In Part Two the design of a guidance loop that minimizes the miss distance in the presence of a maneuvering target is described through the use of modeling as a differential game with saddle point. The guaranteed miss distance, autopilot transfer function and control limit ratio are described. To be used by control engineers and researchers, the text can also be used in graduate courses on robust guidance and control. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
