  • Abstract
    The design and implementation of microprocessor-based optimal controllers for the XM-97 helicopter turret control system is considered. Nonfiring and firing test results are presented. Significant performance improvement of the optimal turret over the original turret has been obtained in terms of percent overshoots, settling times, and shot pattern dispersions. The system investigated in this paper may be considered as an interesting and important case study in the design of optimal control systems.
