Abstract The dynamic stability of coning motion for a radar homing rolling missile is studied in this paper, and the parasitic radome loop is considered and introduced into the guidance system of the radar homing rolling missile. A mathematical model with complex summation considering the parasitic radome loop is proposed, and the sufficient and necessary conditions for the dynamic stability of the coning motion for the rolling missile are analytically derived by using the stability criterion of third-order characteristic equation with complex coefficients. Numerical simulations with different parameters are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed stability condition. The stability condition proposed in this paper can be used in the guidance and control system design of a radar homing rolling missile while considering the parasitic radome loop. Keywords Rolling missile, PI autopilot, dynamic stability, parasitic radome loop, proportional navigation
1. Introduction For all radar homing missiles, the radome is designed and equipped to protect the seeker antenna both mechanically and thermally. However, when the radar signal passes through the radome, the radar wave will be bent or refracted by the radome, thereby generating a false LOS rate. The introduction of the false LOS rate coupled with angular body motion into the guidance system adds a parasitic feedback loop to the missile’s guidance system, which in turn affects the miss distance (MD) and even the dynamic stability of the radar homing missile. As a result, the parasitic radome loop must be considered in the guidance system design of radar homing missiles. A detailed analysis of the radome error slope (RES) was conducted by Nesline and Zarchan
[1]
; in their
papers, the missile guidance system was replaced by the linear fifth-order binomial, and the radome error
slope was introduced to the linear fifth-order binomial. The stability condition of the system was proposed based on the Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion, and the miss distance result from the radome error slope was analysed using the adjoint method. The miss distances of a radar homing missile induced by the radome error slope were investigated under various parameter conditions, and a sensitivity analysis of system to the radome error slope was performed by assuming its step and sinusoidal change during the flight time
[2]
.A
fundamental trade-off between the radome compensation and wing size was studied for a radar-guided aerodynamically controlled missile; it was shown that radome compensation can be used to reduce the wing size, thereby reducing a missile’s drag and weight
[3]
. The radome error slope was considered one of the
seeker component imperfections, and its effect on the guidance system was studied for high-altitude radarguided air defence missiles
[4]
. Brown, et al. indicated that both the positive and negative boresight error
shifts induced by radome refraction are important in the design because these shifts will increase the miss distance and may actually lead to system instability
[5]
. Both the gimbal seeker and electronically scanned
arrays contribute to the radome problem. Peterson D, et al. studied the radome boresight error in electronically scanned arrays and found that radome-induced boresight error and boresight error slope are usually the dominant errors. The radome error not only limits the beam pointing accuracy but also affects the beam-shape. A negative slope leads to an under damped guidance loop, possibly creating instabilities during the performance of manoeuvres. A positive slope leads to an overly damped system and an underresponsive guidance loop [6]. A perturbation analysis of the parasitic radome loop for a BTT missile was also proposed. Because BTT missiles exhibit inertial and aerodynamic cross-coupling, the equations of the missile and guidance system were linearized around the operating point to conveniently determine the poles and stability margins. The effects of the radome error slope on the stability were studied under different coupling conditions
[7]
. According to the above-described studies, the missile homing performance will be
seriously degraded by the radome error slope. To increase both the homing performance and target intercept accuracy, some researchers have studied in-flight radome error compensation to overcome the restrictions imposed by the radome[6, 8-15]. The rolling missile cross-coupling between the pitch and yaw channels may lead to a further dynamic instability in the form of a divergent coning motion. There have been many studies on the dynamic stability of a spinning missile[16-21]. The sufficient and necessary conditions of dynamic stability for canard-control spinning missiles with a rate loop, an attitude autopilot and PI acceleration autopilots were analytically
derived and further verified by numerical simulations
[16-18]
. The coning motion instability of a spinning
missile induced by the hinge moment was considered, and the sufficient and necessary condition of the conning motion stability was derived and validated through nonlinear six degrees-of-freedom simulation [19]. The dynamic stability of spinning projectiles induced by backlash of actuator was studied in the reference [20]
. The dynamic stability for a rolling flight vehicle using a continuous actuator was proposed by
Koohmaskan et al. [21], who considered the dynamics of the actuator in the system model, analytically derived the sufficient and necessary condition based on the Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion, and examined the derived stability condition in a simulation. In another study [22], a novel optimal control algorithm based on stability analyses was developed to suppress the coning motion. The coning motion stability of spinning missiles with strapdown seekers was studied by Lin D et al.; in their study, the rolling missile is equipped with a strapdown seeker. The parasitic loop induced by the scaling factor error is considered, and the sufficient and necessary stability condition is proposed using a complex summation method[23]. Although there are many references on the radome error slope, none of these references has considered its effect on a spinning missile. The dynamic stability of rolling missile equipped with radar seeker may be worse because of the radome error slope and the cross coupling of the pitch and yaw. This paper focuses on the dynamic stability of a rolling missile using a radar seeker with PI acceleration autopilot, considering the parasitic radome loop. The mathematical models of the radome error slope, the airframe, and the system equation in a form of complex summation are obtained. Based on the stability criterion with complex coefficients, the sufficient and necessary condition of the dynamic stability for a rolling missile considering the radome error slope is derived analytically. A proof of the third-order characteristic equation with complex coefficient is presented in the Appendix. The numerical simulation is further used to examine the proposed stability conditions. The rest of this paper is organized as follows. In the problem formulation section, simplified mathematical models of the radome and airframe are presented with reasonable assumptions. In the section describing the stability condition of the rolling missile considering the parasitic radome loop, the sufficient and necessary condition of dynamic stability is analytically derived by using the stability criterion with complex coefficients. In the simulation results section, the results of simulation studies used for verifying the stability condition proposed are presented. The conclusions are presented in the conclusions section.
2. Problem formulation 2.1.Radome problem formulation The physics of radome refraction are shown in Fig. 1, where ߟ
denotes the refraction angle. It can be
observed that the radar wave is refracted by the radome. The target appears to be displaced from its true position because of the radome refraction angle. The radome refraction angle varies with the seeker gimbal angle. The radome error slope is defined as the rate of change of the radome refraction angle with gimbal angle and is given as

can be simplified based on the
following assumptions: (a) The velocity remains constant over a short interval in the flight; (b) The rolling rate remains constant over a short interval in the flight; (c) The gravity effect is ignored; (d) The coefficients of aerodynamic moments are linearized; and (e) The variables ߰ǡ ߰ ǡ ߙǡ ߚǡ ߶ǡ ܽ݊݀ሶ ߰ are small, i.e., ܿ ߰ݏൎ ͳ, ܿ߰ݏ ൎ ͳ, ܿ ߙݏൎ ͳ, ܿ ߚݏൎ ͳ, ߙ݊݅ݏൎ ߙ, ߚ݊݅ݏൎ ߚ, and ߶݊݅ݏൎ ߶.

where ݇ is the gain of the proportional item, ݇ூ is the gain of the integral regulator, ݇ఠ is the gain of the damping loop, ܿ is the distance between the accelerometer installation location and the centre of mass. For a canard-control missile, note that the coordinate system mentioned above is such that a positive angle of a servo produces a positive-going angle of attack and positive acceleration in the pitch, along with a positive-going sideslip angle and negative acceleration in the yaw. Therefore, the input commands to the actuators can be described as the following formations for a canard-control missile:

3ǃ Command Resolution and Actuator Response The rolling of a missile induces harmonic responses in the rudder angles under constant commands. Because the servo-system can be modelled by a second-order system with natural frequency ͳȀܶ௦ , damping ratio ߤ௦ , command transmission delay ߬, and constant roll rate (i.e., ɀሶ ൌ Ͳ), the relationship between the input and output of the servo-system in the non-rolling body system for the rolling missile can be expressed as

Therefore, the total delay angle can be calculated as ɀௗ ൌ ߛ ߬ ή ߛሶ , where ߬ is the time delay of the control system.
3. Dynamic Stability Condition of Rolling Missiles Considering Parasitic Radome Loop It is known from the mathematical model for each component of the acceleration autopilot that both the actuator responses and the airframe responses induce cross-coupling between pitch and yaw and that the attitudes are coupled into the guidance system because of the parasitic radome loop. Therefore, a complex summation model is required to conveniently perform the stability analysis. Eq. (21) can be expressed as

(24)

Without loss of generality, the LOS rate inputs ݍሶ ௬ and ݍሶ ௭ are assumed to be zero in the stability analysis; thus, Eq.(25) can be simplified as

Fig. 4 Stable conning motion while ignoring the parasitic radome loop
Fig. 4 shows that the initial disturbance decays and the coning motion approaches the zero point; i.e., the rolling missile is proved to be stable. (2) Considering the effect of the radome Using the same parameters of PI autopilot without considering the effect of the radome, according to the dynamic stability condition of the rolling missile (41), the calculated upper bound is ܰ ᇱ ܸ ሺെܴ௦ ሻ ൏ ͳǤͷͶͳͻ,
when the rolling rate is Ͷ ή ʹɎ Τ ݏ. Numerical simulations with ܰ ᇱ ܸ ሺെܴ௦ ሻ ൌ ͳǤͻ , ܰ ᇱ ܸ ሺെܴ௦ ሻ ൌ ͳǤͷͶͳͻ, and ܰ ᇱ ܸ ሺെܴ௦ ሻ ൌ ͳǤͲ are conducted to verify the stability condition obtained using our proposed method in the different initial values. 100

Fig. 7 Stable coning motion with ܰԢ ܸܿ ሺെܴ௦ ሻ ൌ ͳǤͲ
For ܰ ᇱ ܸ ሺെܴ௦ ሻ ൌ ͳǤͻ, which is out of bounds, Fig. 5 shows that the lateral acceleration and nutation angle are divergent under the initial disturbance. At ܰ ᇱ ܸ ሺെܴ௦ ሻ ൌ ͳǤͷͶͳͻ, which is the exact critical gain, Fig. 6 shows the lateral acceleration and nutation angle with initial disturbance are neutrally stable. At ܰ ᇱ ܸ ሺെܴ௦ ሻ ൌ ͳǤͲ, which satisfies the stability condition, Fig. 7 shows that the initial disturbance decays and the coning motion approach the zero point. Evidently, the sufficient and necessary conditions of the rolling missile are consistent with the simulation results, which can be used as a reference for guiding the system design of a radar homing rolling missile, considering the effect of the radome on the guidance system. Note that when using the same PI autopilot parameters, the rolling missile is stable when ignoring the effect of the radome; however, when considering the effect of the radome, the stability of the rolling missile is related to the value of ܰ ᇱ ܸ ሺെܴ௦ ሻ. Thus, even if the PI autopilot is designed to be stable, the parasitic radome loop may lead to the instability of the rolling missile. This proves that the parasitic radome loop should be considered in the design of the guidance and control system for the rolling missile.
5. Conclusions In this paper, by using the stability criterion of the third-order characteristic equation with complex coefficients, the sufficient and necessary condition of the dynamic stability of a rolling missile with PN and PI acceleration considering the parasitic radome loop is analytically derived, and the stability condition further verified in a numerical simulation based on the nonlinear model. In the design of a rolling missile equipped with a radar seeker, the effect of the radome on the guidance system must be considered. The applicability of the design parameters according to the stability conditions obtained in this paper must be
checked. The stability conditions given in this paper can be applied to the engineering design of a guidance and control system for a radar homing rolling missile considering the parasitic radome loop. Future work will consider more topologies of the autopilot in this framework.
