Disturbance compensating model predictive control for warship heading control in missile firing mission

Abstract

One of warship missions is shooting and avoiding enemy attacks, which can be done by missile firing strategy. Due to missile firing, the movement of ship becomes unstable. To overcome this problem, we need a control system that can overcome the disturbance caused by the impact of the missile firing. So, in this paper, we propose a method called disturbance compensating MPC (DC-MPC) control system. This control is chosen, because DC-MPC is a robust method for measurable disturbance. Based on the result of simulation, DC-MPC can overcome disturbance on the system and make ship's actual heading angle to follow the desired reference quickly which is about 10 s. After the system gets disturbance, controller is also able to adjust the value of the ship heading angle to original position.
