Abstract

Multiple launch rocket system, a type of launching platform used to launch kinetic load to hit the target, is an extremely complicated mechanical system with strong vibration because of the jet force. In this study, a nonlinear dynamic model and vibration control of a multiple launch rocket system are presented to reduce vibration and improve position accuracy. A simplified dynamic model of the multiple launch rocket system is derived using the Newton–Euler method, which facilitates the controller design considering the strong complexity of the multiple launch rocket system. On this basis, the feedback linearization technique is introduced to design a nonlinear controller based on the deduced dynamic model. The simulated and experimental results show that the simplified dynamic model–based control effectively can reduce vibration level of the launching system and make the azimuth and elevation angles reach the desired values with smaller error despite of each rocket's jet force.
