MODELING, SIMULATION AND FEEDBACK LINEARIZATION CONTROL OF NONLINEAR SURFACE VESSELS

Realistic models and robust control are vital to reach a sufficient fidelity in military simulation projects including surface vessels. In this study, a nonlinear model including sea-state modelling is obtained and feedback linearization control is implemented in this model. To control the system, nonlinear analysis techniques are used. The model is integrated into a commercial framework based CGF application within a high-fidelity military training simulation. The simulation results are presented at the end of the study.
