Equation 6.6-25<br />

A Skid-to-turn (STT) or bank-to-turn (BTT) autopilot is selected by setting<br />

BTT_SW to 0 or 1 respectively. One of the main benefits of BBT is the<br />

reduction in hardware since the guidance requirements can be satisfied using<br />

one set of fins, and utilise the inner and therefore faster seeker inner gimbal.<br />

6.7.1 STT Lateral Autopilot<br />

Lateral autopilot demands are formed at launch, but are applied when the<br />

missile reaches a stable speed. The conventional pitch and yaw guidance<br />

demands are first delayed, lateral acceleration limited, and noise filtered,<br />

Equation 6.7-1<br />

By default a transport delay (τAD) of 2.5 msec is applied at the autopilot<br />

update rate (∆tA) of 1/400 Hz. The noise filter is a 1 st order lag implemented<br />

as defined in §22.7.1 with a bandwidth (ωN) of 64 rad/s used in §6.6.2. Low<br />

speed acceleration demand limiting is applied up to Mach 1 to prevent<br />

excessive incidence, and thereafter an absolute limit (GMAX ) of 400 m/s 2 .<br />
