Abstract
In this paper, a novel inner/outer-loop control framework for the pitch autopilot of a tail-controlled, skid-to-turn missile is proposed. The generalized extended state observer (GESO)-based inner-loop design is constructed to estimate the disturbances and uncertainties and simultaneously compensate them in the input channel. In doing so, the uncertainty of the model can be reduced within an appropriate range for robust control design. The outer-loop
