Introduction. Ukraine is a tank country, which has plants for the production and repair of tanks and tank equipment. Ukrainian tanks have rather high tactical technical characteristics and are well bought by many foreign countries [1]. Most tanks of the Ukrainian armed forces are T-64 tanks which was developed in the 60s and which need to be modernized. Ukrainian «Bulat» T-64BM tank is the result of a deep modernization of the T-64 tank [2]. It was developed by the A.A. Morozov Kharkiv Machine Building Design Bureau. The upgraded «Bulat» T-64BM tank is equipped with a modern command and control system with a livelihood that provides the shooting of the gunner and the commander with a high probability falling from the first shot [2]. It
should be noted that the cost of the «Oplot» tank production is equivalent to the cost of upgrading ten T-64 tanks to the «Bulat» T-64BM tank level [3]; therefore, the modernization of T-64 tanks is also reasonable from an economic point of view.
The basis of combat in modern conditions is shooting on the move at high speed and maneuverability of tank movement [1, 2], therefore all modern tanks of the world are equipped with stabilizers of tank armament, which allow to conduct aimed fire on the move [4-8]. The likelihood of fire damage to the target at maximum speeds of movement, high maneuverability and effective engagement of the tank from the fire damage of the

enemy is largely determined by the accuracy of maintaining a given direction of tank weapons on the target with intense disturbing influences from the tank hull [1, 2]. Therefore, the issues of further improving the accuracy of stabilization of main tank armament are a real problem, both in the development of new systems of tank weapons and in the modernization of existing systems that are in use [1-3].
One of the areas of modernization of the T-64 tank is to improve the accuracy of control of the main armament to increase the likelihood of target destruction. The guidance and stabilization system for the main armament of the T-64 tank contains a DC electric drive with an electric machine power amplifier in the azimuth (turret) axis of the tank turret and an electro-hydraulic drive of the tank gun in the in the elevation (gun) axis [1]. To improve the accuracy of controlling the main armament of «Leopard» 2A5/6, «Merkava» Mk-3, «Abrams» Ml tanks modern AC electric drives are being developed to replace existing electro-hydraulic and DC electric drives [10]. The «VNII «Signal»« scientific and industrial production unit developed and conducted experimental studies of 2E58 Electric Gun and Turret Drive Stabilization System with AC electric drive based on a synchronous motor with permanent magnets (PMSM) and vector control (VC) to replace existing DC drives and electro-hydraulic drives of main tank armament guidance and stabilization systems [11, 12]. Such an AC electric drive allows for higher speeds and accelerations of the tank turret and gun compared with existing electro-hydraulic drives and DC drives to improve the accuracy of the guidance and stabilization system. Experimental studies of such AC electric drives for controlling the turret and gun of the T-72 tank made it possible to improve the transfer speed by up to 1.5 times (up to 45 degrees/sec) and also to improve the smoothness of the drives at low speeds [10].
Note that the American firm «HR Textron», the Israeli firm «Elbit» based on the developed system for the «Merkava» Mk3 tank, the European concern «EADS» and others offer a fully electric guidance and stabilization system (Electric Gun and Turret Drive Stabilization System) by the main armament for the modernization of Ukrainian tanks [10].
As numerous tests and analysis of test results have shown, that the accuracy of firing on the move is significantly affected by the tank gun barrel elastic oscillations [2, 8]. «Bulat» T-64BM tank gun 2A46-2 barrel undamped oscillations frequency experimentally determined and is equal 10.14 Hz [8], which holds back the improve by the tank tower and gun guidance and stabilization systems accuracy.
Mathematical model of the tank gun as a plant, taking into account the gun barrel elastic oscillations as a discrete-continuous plant developed in the [8]. The gun barrel is considered as an elastic beam in the form of a distributed load, rigidly fixed in the breech. But this model does not take into account the turret imbalance, which leads to the removal of the turret with gun from the target direction. Note that the Ukrainian tanks turret unbalance moment reaches 40 kN-m against 1-1.5 kN-m at the foreign tanks turret [11].
The problem of parametric synthesis of guidance and stabilization systems, taking into account the elasticity of the tank gun barrel also is given in the [8]. However, these systems use the classical structure of regulators with feedbacks from electric angle gyros sensor and electric rate gyros sensor on the gun in the elevation (gun) axis and the turret in the azimuth (turret) axis, which limits the possibilities of obtaining high accuracy of the system.
On the other hand, the emergence of modern micro gyros and high-speed computing means allows us to reduce the weight and dimensions of the control system and implement more complex control algorithm.
The goal of this work is to improve of the accuracy parameters and reduce of sensitivity to changes of plant parameters for electromechanical tank armament stabilization systems with synchronous motor with permanent magnets and vector control based on multiobjective synthesis of nonlinear robust control.
Problem statement. Consider the mathematical models of the electromechanical gun stabilization system taking into account the gun barrel elastic elements oscillations as a discrete-continuous plant [8]. Model consists of an elevation (gun) axis model and an azimuth (turret) axis model. Imagine a gun model in the form of a solid body and an elastic element. In addition to rotation relative to the axis, the gun performs elastic oscillations. Denote by the q(f) - elevation angle and \p(t) - azimuth angle of gun and turret rotation as the solid body, yG(x, t) and yj(x, t) - the deviation of the points of the rod from its undeformed state in elevation and azimuth axes. For the gun and turret dynamics, the torques applied to the solid body equals the actuator torques TAG(t), TAT(t) plus the disturbance torques TDG(t), TDT(t) acting on the gun and turret, minus the turnnion friction torques. TFG(t), TFT(t). The disturbance torques TDG(t), TDT(t) acts relative to the elevation and azimuth axes of rotation of gun and turret as solid body, and the distributed forces F0G(x, t), F0T(x, t) acts along the length of the tank gun barrel as elastic element in elevation and azimuth axes.
The equations of plant movement relative to its elevation and azimuth axes of rotation can be written as follows

where J0G, J0T - moment of inertia of gun and turret as the solid body relative to the elevation and azimuth rotation axes; m1(x) - the mass of the rod, which is connected with the running weight of the rod m(x) in the ratio m1(x) = m(x)(x + r), in which r - the distance of the point of attachment of the rod to the axis of the gun gate.

where EI(x) and £ - tank gun barrel distributed rigidity and internal damping coefficient; F0G(x, t), FoT(x, t) -external disturbance distributed over the tank gun barrel due to hull oscillations in elevation and azimuth axes.
We represent in equation (3), (4) the functions yG(x,t), yT(x, t) in the form of the following series
The control precision is largely determined only by the first form of tank gun barrel elastic oscillation. Taking into account only the first basic form of elastic oscillations in expression (5), (6) the function is represented

Then the equations of the dynamics of the electromechanical system as a discrete-continuous plant (7)-(12) in elevation and azimuth axes will take the following form

In the elevation and azimuth axes there are two types of external disturbance. The first type of external disturbance is related to the hull longitudinal angular oscillations. These disturbances cause a disturbance torques that acts on the gun and turret

The second type of external perturbation is associated with hull accelerations relative to its elevation axis. These accelerations, being annexed to the distributed masses of the gun, cause its elastic fluctuations. Distributed forces applied to the gun and turret and included in the equation of its elastic oscillations are determined by the following dependencies

External perturbations acting on the hull in the elevation and azimuth axes are to a large extent determined by the longitudinal angles and hull vertical and horizontal fluctuations. Note that using equations (16), (18) and (20), disturbing moments due to the tank turret imbalance are also taken into account. Using equations (15), (17) and (19), disturbing moments due to the tank gun imbalance are also taken into account.

Method of synthesis. Let us write down the original turret and gun model (13) - (22) of the electromechanical system as a discrete-continuous plant taking into account the moles of the executive motors (23), (24), hull suspension effects and sensors as plant of robust control system with a state vector x(t) in the standard form of a state equation

y(t) = Y (x(t ),\(t), u(t)) (26)
is formed by different sensors which measured the angular, rate and acceleration of turret, gun and hull in elevation and azimuth axes and placed at the turret, gun and at the hull [7].
The task of synthesis is the determination of such a regulator [16, 17] which, based on the measured output (26) forming control u(t) using a dynamic system described by the difference state equation and output
^ = f ((t), u (t), \(t), V{t)) + ]T G, (y(t) -dt ~ (27)

«(t) = Yu, ((t),y(t)),
(28)
i=1
where u(t) is the control, ®(t) and ^(t) are the vectors of the external signal and parametric perturbations, f - is a nonlinear function.
The mathematical model (25) takes into account the nonlinear frictional dependencies on the shafts of the drive motor, the rotating parts of the reducer and the gun and turret, the gear gap between the teeth of the driving and driven gears, the constraints for control, current, torque and motor rate, as well as the plant moment of inertia.
In particular, the model of turnnion friction torques Tp(t) of drive motor, reducer and plant adopted in the following form[7]:
T ,if ^ Ts and \m\< 0.001;
Tf =
where TF - the moment of friction, T - the moment applied to the shaft that is cracking, Ts - moment of friction of rest (static friction), Tk - the moment of kinetic friction.
where i is the order of the forms Gt and U.
The synthesis of the regulator (28) is reduced to determining the matrix of the forms of the regulator gain Ui by minimizing the norm of the target vector

z(x(t), u(t),V(t)) = YJ Z, (x(t), u(t),V(t)) (29) i=2
on control vector of u(t) and maximization of the same norm on a of plant uncertain vector tj(t) for the worst case disturbance.
The synthesis of the observer (27) is reduced [18] to determining the observer gain coefficients Gi by minimization of the error vector of the recovery of the state vector x(t) of the initial system (25) and maximization of the same norm of the error vector along the plant uncertainty vector tj(t) and the vector of external signal influences \(t), which also corresponds to the worst case disturbance.
Matrices of the regulator Ui and observer Gi gain coefficients are found from approximate solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equations [18, 19], in which the matrices of linear forms being found from the four Riccati equations solutions. This approach corresponds to the standard 4-Riccati approach to the synthesis of linear robust or anisotropic regulators [19].
To determine the regulator (28) for plant (25) with target vector (29) consider Hamiltonian function
H(x(t),u(t), V(t)) = +VxT (x(t),u(t), V{t))f (x(t),...
...u(t), tj(t)) + zT (x(t), u(t), tj(t))z(x(t), u(t), tj(t)) -... (30)
1 T iT (t )v(t),
r
here Vx are partial derivatives with respect to the state vector x(t) of the infinite-horizon performance functional (Lyapunov function), y - weighting coefficient which determines the conservatism degree of the synthesized robust regulator
To determine the robust regulator (28) it is necessary to find the minimum norm of the target vector (29) along the control vector uk and the maximum of this norm along the external perturbations vector which reduces to solving the minimax extremal problem of Hamiltonian function [16]
r
t
H * (x(t)) = minmax{{ (x(t), u(t),r(t))} (31)
u (t)r (t)
The necessary conditions for the extremum of the Hamiltonian function (31) both in the control vector uk and in the external perturbation vector rjk are these equations
Hu (x(t),u (x(t)), V* (x(t))) = 0; (32)
H^(x(t), u * (x(t)), r (x(t))) = 0, (33)
which are Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equations. Here Hu and Hr are the partial derivatives of the Hamiltonian function with respect to the control vector u(t) and with respect to the external perturbations vector r(t).
Note that these equations (32), (33) are also necessary conditions for optimizing a dynamic game, in which the first player - the regulator which minimizes the target vector, and the second player - external disturbances which maximizes the same target vector.
The difficulty of obtaining a nonlinear control law is due to the fact that the difference Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equations (32), (33) is a nonlinear partial differential equation. In this paper we use an approximate solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equation (32), (33) assuming the analytical dependences of the nonlinearities of the original system (25), (26), (29) in the form of the corresponding series [19]. Then the linear approximation of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaac equation (32), (33) are the algebraic Riccati equations

here, the matrices A, Br, Bu, Cz in (34) are the corresponding matrices of the linear system obtained by linearizing the original nonlinear system (25), (26), (29).
Similarly matrices of the observer Gt gain coefficients (27) are found from approximate solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equations [18].
Feed forward control synthesis. When the tank was moving, the error of the stabilization system of tank armaments was caused by the action of disturbance torques TDG(t), TDT(t) that acts on the turret in the azimuth axis and on the gun in elevation axis from the side of the tank hull. Sensors that measure the hull angular position, hull angular rate, hull acceleration, etc in elevation and azimuth axes are mounted on the tank hull. These sensors can be used to observer disturbance torques TDG(t), TDT(t) and their derivatives and implement open-loop control to improve the accuracy of the tank weapon stabilization systems when firing on the move. We introduce the state vectors xdG(t), xdT(t) of the of external perturbation models, the components of which is the disturbance torques TDG(t), TDT(t) that acts on the turret in the azimuth axis and on the gun in elevation axis and its derivatives. We write the mathematical models of external disturbances in the following form
dxdG (() dt
= fdG foG (tX \dG (tX idG (t)); (35)
= fdT (dT (t), \dT (t), idT (t)), (36)
dt
where \dG(t), \dT(t), rdG(t), rTt) are the vectors of the external signal and parametric perturbations [7, 8], fdG, fdT - are a nonlinear functions.
To realize the quasi invariant feed forward control by these disturbance torques TDG(t), TDT(t) in the plant model (25) also introduced the external disturbance models (35), (36).
Then with the help of the observer (27) the external disturbances torques TDG(t), TDT(t) and its derivatives also are observed [20] by measurement signals (26). Then the quasi-invariant feed forward control by external disturbances (35), (36) realize in form (28) by observer external disturbance state variables (27).
Multiobjective synthesis of nonlinear robust control. For tank main armament guidance and stabilization systems sufficiently stringent requirements are set for the performance indicators in various modes. In the guidance mode it is necessary to control by the gun rate and turret rate. In the stabilization mode it is necessary to control by the gun position and turret position. We bring a part of such performance indicators [7, 8]. Time of working out of a given angle of error. Acceleration time to rated speed and deceleration time to full stop. An error in working out a harmonic signal of a specified amplitude and frequency. Stabilization error when moving along a normalized path with a random profile change with a given speed. Maximum speed of guidance. Minimum speed of guidance. Failure of guidance at minimum speed. Naturally, this should take into account the voltage and current limitations of the anchor chain of the drive motor, as well as the speed of rotation of the drive motor.
Dynamic characteristics of synthesized system including a nonlinear plant (25) that is closed by a robust controller (26), (27) are determined by the control system model of the system (25), the parameters of the measuring devices (26) and the target vector (29). For the correct definition of the target vector (29), we introduce the vector of the unknown parameters % = {Z,(xk, uk, rk)}, the components of which are the required weight matrices of the norm Z,(xk, uk, rk). We introduce the vector of the objective function
F(%)=N%),F2(%). . .Fm (%), (37) in which the components Fi(%) are direct quality indicators that are presented to the system in various modes of its operation such as the time of the first coordination, the time of regulation, overshooting, etc [7, 8].
To calculate the vectors objective function (37) and constraints on state variables and control, the initial nonlinear system (25), (26) is modeled by a closed synthesized nonlinear regulator (27), (28) in various modes of operation, with different input signals and for various values of the plant parameters [8]. This (37) multiobjective nonlinear programming problem [22, 23] is solved on the basis of multi-swarm stochastic multiagent optimization algorithms from Pareto optimal solutions [22, 23].
Computer simulation results. Comprehensive research of dynamic characteristics and sensitivity to the plant parameters change of the electromechanical tank armament stabilization systems with synchronous motor
with permanent magnets taking into account the gun barrel elastic oscillations as a discrete-continuous plant with parametric uncertainty [8] with synthesized nonlinear robust regulators were conducted. As an example Fig. 1 shows state variables random processes implementation of the synthesized electromechanical tank gun stabilization systems in the elevation axis when the tank moves at a speed of 8 m-s- along a standard tank route. On Fig. 1 shows such state variables of a closed system: a) the angle <p(t) of deviation between the axis of the object and the given direction, and b) its derivative dq(t)/dt; c) the value of the function W0G(t) in the representation yG(x, t) of the function, which characterizes the deviation of the tank barrel axis points from its state in the elevation axis, which is not deformed, and d) actuator torque TAG(t).

Fig. 1. State variables random processes implementation of the synthesized electromechanical tank gun stabilization systems in the elevation axis
As can be seen from Fig. 1.d, the actuator torques TAG(t) acting on the gun reaches 100 N-m. The magnitude
of disturbance torques TDG(t) acting on the gun, depends on the tank speed and the quality of the road surface. When moving along a mid-intersected area, these disturbance torques TDG(t) reach values 800 N-m [8]. With an increase the tank movement speed, the action of external disturbances gun weakens. This is explained by the fact that in the 4-6 m-s— movement speeds range, the resonant properties of the tank training system are manifested, and at speeds exceeding 8 m-s"1, the tank overcomes small effects, almost not responding to them. At the same time, with increased of the tank movement speed, the average frequency of oscillations of the function F0G(x, t) in (19) significantly increases, which reduces the accuracy of aimed shooting on the move.
As can be seen from this figure, the error of stabilization of a given angle of a tank gun is about 0.1 mrad, which is about 1.7 times less than the error of a system with a typical proportional-differential controller [2, 10] and corresponds to the «Leclerc» tank weapons stabilization system accuracy [10, 24].
During the simulation of the dynamic characteristics of the synthesized electromechanical tank armament stabilization systems, it was found that the use of nonlinear robust control made it possible to reduce the time spent on working out the initial angular mismatch of 0.1 rad between guns and targets directions. When the plant inertia moment was changed by 30 %, the mining time was changed by less than 10 % while maintaining the level of overregulation, while in the system with a typical regulator, the mining time was changed to 30 % with a significant change in the system overshoot. Thus, the use of nonlinear robust controllers also made it possible to reduce the sensitivity of the system to changes in the parameters of the control object as compared to the existing system.
Conclusions.
1. For the first time the method of multiobjective synthesis of nonlinear robust control by electromechanical tank armament stabilization systems with synchronous motor with permanent magnets taking into account the gun barrel elastic oscillations as a discrete-continuous plant and tank turret imbalance and with parametric uncertainty is developed.
2. Synthesis of nonlinear robust regulators and nonlinear robust observers reduces to solving the system of Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equations. Robust control target vector is determined by solving the multi criterion nonlinear programming problem in which the components of the vectors of the objective function are direct quality indicators that are presented to the system in various modes of its operation.
3. Based on the computer model dynamic characteristics analysis of the synthesized electromechanical tank armament stabilization systems with synchronous motor with permanent magnets as a discrete-continuous plant shown that the use of synthesized nonlinear robust regulators made it possible to reduce by 1.7 times the error of stabilization of a given angular position of a tank gun when moving the tank, reduce by 1.8-2 times the time spent working off the initial angular misalignment of
