SUGGESTED SERVO CONTROL SYSTEM FOR BUMBLEBEE WITH PRELIMINARY THEORETICAL ANALYSIS

Abstract : A general plan is described for a servo system which automatically stabilizes the Bumblebee about the roll, yaw, and pitch axes and steers it in elevation and traverse. Equations are written governing the stabilization and steering response based upon assumptions regarding the action of the various components. General assumptions are: The response of the whole system, and each part in particular, is linear. Backlash, dead space, noise in the radar signal, leakage, and dry friction are negligible. The response of the Bee about any one of the three axes is independent of its response about the other two.
