Robust Nonlinear Spacecraft Attitude Control: An Incremental Backstepping Approach

In order to meet requirements in terms of robustness, stability, and performance for future generations of advanced attitude control systems, a sensor-based approach using Incremental Backstepping control is developed and proposed in this thesis. Assuming full state availability and fast control action, the resulting time-scale separation...

Advanced Flight Control Design and Evaluation: An application of time delayed Incremental Backstepping

The sensor-based approach of Incremental Backstepping is applied to flight control law design in this research project. It allows the usage of the same control law on different types of aircraft without the need for redesign. Apart from full state availability, the derivation of Incremental Backstepping assumes instantaneous control action. Due...
