Abstract :
A homing missile lateral autopilot is synthesized by exploiting the fact that under mild differentiability conditions, nonlinear systems can be represented in quasilinear form. The robustness of the lateral missile velocity autopilot to uncertain aerodynamic parameters is then determined using Kharitonov´s theorem
