Abstract :
Despinning the front end of a spinning flying munition is an important step towards flight control of said vehicle. A counter-rotation control scheme is proposed to despin and stabilize the front end of the vehicle at a definable still roll position with respect to earth. Classical and Hinfin control theories are employed to construct the despin controller.
