  • Closed-loop multi-sensor control system and method
    Patent number: 5189590
    Abstract: A closed-loop multi-sensor control system for controlling ship signatures positions away from local sensors used to direct local signatures controllers by controlling a field variable signature through local onboard sensors and active coil elements by determining a transfer matrix between discrete local and midrange field values, said determination being based upon virtual sources, M, and control parameters (coil currents) I wherein:M=(M.sub.X1,M.sub.Y.sup.1,M.sub.Z1,M.sub.Z2. . . M.sub.ZX) and I=(I.sub.1,I.sub.2, . . . I.sub.M),wherein local signatures H=A.sub.H I.sub.O +B.sub.H M and wherein midrange signatures K=A.sub.K I+B.sub.H M and wherein the ultimate solution for the coil currents for optimum degaussing is:I=-(A.sub.K.sup.T A.sub.K).sup.-1 A.sub.K.sup.T B.sub.K (B.sub.H.sup.T B.sub.H)..sup.1 B.sub.H.sup.T (H-A.sub.H I.sub.O)=G H.sub.
