Sliding mode controller solution for the shallow submerged operation ok a submarine

Abstract

In this paper a submarine controller is presented which can accommodate the sea wave effects on a submarine a(shallow water operation. Sliding mode method is implemented in a way that the robustness of the controller increased with respect to disturbance distribution vector in order to perform the depth control of a shallow submerged submarine under sea wave disturbances. Designed controller kept the submarine performance within acceptable limits. Copyright © 2003 IFAC.
