High precision control is desirable for future weapon systems. In this paper, several control design methodologies are applied to a weapon system to assess the applicability of each control design method and to characterize the achievable performance of the gun-turret system in precision control. The design objective of the gun-turret control system is to achieve a rapid and precise tracking response with respect to the turret motor command from the fire control system under the influences of disturbances, nonlinearities, and modeling uncertainties. A fuzzy scheme is proposed for control of multi-body, multi-input and multioutput nonlinear systems with joints represented by a gun turret-barrel model which consists of two subsystems: two motors driving two loads (turret and barrel) coupled by nonlinear dynamics. Fuzzy control schemes are employed for compensation and nonlinear feedback control laws are used for control of nonlinear dynamics. Fuzzy logic control (FLC) provides an effective means of capturing the approximate, inexact nature of the real world, and to address unexpected parameter variations and anomalies. Viewed in this perspective, the essential part of the FLC is a set of linguistic control rules related by the dual concepts of fuzzy implication and the compositional rule of inference. In essence, the FLC provides an algorithm which can convert the linguistic control strategy based on expert knowledge into an automatic control strategy. Accordingly, the design must be robust, adaptive, and, hopefully, intelligent in order to accommodate these uncertainties. Simulation results verify the desired system tracking performance.
