Intelligent control of weapon simulator based on expert knowledge

In view of the influence of nonlinear factors such as controller output saturation on the stabilization and precision of a weapon simulator, an intelligent controller based on expert knowledge was designed and the controlling rule was established, too. Fixed PID controller was applied to reduce the tracking error, while intelligent controller was adopted to make the large step response fast and smooth. The controller has simple structure, few regulator parameters and good robustness against uncertainty. Simulation and experiment results show that the controller can realize the step transition rapidly, smoothly, and improve the tracking performance.
