Abstract :
In this paper the implementation of an Output Feedback Receding Horizon Control (RHC) algorithm for constrained uncertain discrete-time linear systems subject to norm-bounded Linear Fractional Representation (LFR) model uncertainties has been developed. Performance and effectiveness of the proposed strategy have been numerically tested by considering the control augmentation problem of an High Altitude Performance Demonstrator (HAPD) unmanned aircraft with redundant control surfaces.
