Abstract
Modern computational power and efficient direct collocation techniques are decreasing the solution time required for the optimal control problem, making real-time optimal control (RTOC) feasible for modern systems. Current trends in the literature indicate that many authors are applying RTOC with a recursive open-loop structure, relying on a high recursion rate for implicit state feedback to counter disturbances and other unmodeled effects without explicit closed-loop control. The limitations of using rapid, instantaneous optimal solutions are demonstrated analytically and through application to a surface-to-air missile avoidance control system. Two methods are proposed for control structure implementation when using RTOC to take advantage of error integration through either classical feedback or disturbance estimation.
