Design and Analysis of a Launcher Flight Control System Based on Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion by Pedro Simplício, Paul Acquatella, Samir Bennani

“…This paper investigates the application of Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (INDI) for launch vehicle flight control, addressing the limited exploration of nonlinear control architectures and their potential benefits in the context of the current “New Space” era. In this context, this study aims to bridge the gap between the launcher’s traditional linear control practice and nonlinear methods, focusing on INDI, which offers the potential to enhance limits of performance while reducing mission preparation (“missionisation”) efforts. …”
