Effects of sample rates and data latency on digital autopilots. Volume 1: Analysis summary
Abstract
One of the objectives of the USAF Digital Integrating Subsystems (DIS) project is to establish standards for digitally interfacing various guidance options, seekers, autopilots, etc., in future air-to-air and air-to-surface tactical weapons. Since a DIS missiles is digital in nature, time delays and related phase lags are present which affect system stability. This study is an attempt to address the data latency/stability problem.
