Control-Autopilost model

Hi Prof. Fossen,

I use the "Course autopilot" module in the MSS Simulink Library /Control/Autopilots. Can you help me to explain how the module work? Besides, where is the source code of the module?

Thank you very much.

You find the Simulink library blocks after typing: >>mssSimulink, in the Matlab workspace. The course autopilot is based on Algorithm 15.1 in my Wiley (2021) textbook. This is a SISO PID pole-placement algorithm for vehicles. You will also find the algorithm in my lecture notes, which can be downloaded from https://wiley.fossen.biz. The design of heading and course autopilots are explained in detail in my book; see Chapters 7 and 15.3.4.
