Optimal Control, Guidance and Estimation

Optimal Control, Guidance and Estimation. Instructor: Prof. Radhakant Padhi, Department of Aerospace Engineering, IISc Bangalore. In this course concepts and techniques of optimal guidance, control and state estimation will be studied for aerospace vehicles (especially for aircrafts, launch vehicles and missiles), both in linear and nonlinear systems theory framework. However, the theory as well as some demonstrative examples will be quite generic and hence this course is expected to be useful to the students from other engineering disciplines as well.
