Control and Dynamic Systems: Advances in Theory in Applications, Volume 32: Advances in Aerospace Systems Dynamics and Control Systems, Part 2 of 3 deals with significant advances in technologies which support the development of aerospace systems. It also presents several algorithms and computational techniques used in complex aerospace systems. After discussing flight management systems (FMS), this volume presents techniques for treating complex aerospace systems models. These techniques include parameter identification, asymptotic perturbation method, reliability techniques, constrained optimization techniques, and computation methods for decoy discrimination and optimal targeting. This book is an excellent reference for research and professional workers in the field who want a comprehensive source of techniques with significant applied implications.

The book blends readability and accessibility common to undergraduate control systems texts with the mathematical rigor necessary to form a solid theoretical foundation. Appendices cover linear algebra and provide a Matlab overivew and files. The reviewers pointed out that this is an ambitious project but one that will pay off because of the lack of good up-to-date textbooks in the area.

Control and Dynamic Systems: Advances in Theory in Applications, Volume 33: Advances in Aerospace Systems Dynamics and Control Systems, Part 3 of 3 deals with significant advances in technologies which support the development of aerospace systems. It also presents several algorithms and computational techniques for complex aerospace systems. This book first presents a survey of analytical redundancy techniques to improve turbine engine control systems. It then discusses techniques for remotely piloted vehicles; control configured vehicles (CCV) techniques; aircraft handling; pilot-vehicle dynamics; and optimal control techniques for complex aerospace structure. This text is an excellent reference for research and professional workers in the field who want a comprehensive source of techniques with significant applied implications.
