Antiwindup attitude controller for maneuvering glide vehicles with guaranteed convergence rate

An attitude control law which can obtain stability and satisfactory response rate simultaneously with input saturation for a novel near space glide vehicle was presented. For nominal antiwindup, the convergence rate of control error is generally neglected and can be extremely small in some situation. In order to improve the fastness of controlled system, an existing LMI based design algorithm was modified. By utilizing the comparative principle, the asymptotically stability of the controlled close-loop system and guaranteed convergence rate for Lyapunov function was proved. Differently from previous works, this method satisfy the basic fastness need of controlled system and provide a way to trade-off between stability and fastness. The simulation of heeling angle maneuvering with nonzero slip angle shows the effectiveness of the proposed antiwindup control method. Compared with nominal Antiwindup method the proposed one performed better in fastness.
