This paper develops both the concept of, and efficient interactive computer software for the design of, digital Command Generator Tracker control systems employing Proportional-plus-Integral inner loop controllers, or CGT/PI control systems. Kalman filters are also embedded in the controller structure to provide estimates of states (needed for control generation) from incomplete noise-corrupted data available from sampled data sensors. Such a controller is particularly well suited to the typical aircraft control design problem. The developed software allows the designer to specify system parameters and objectives (including 'handlung qualities' specifications) in the continuous-time domain, and it then obtains the corresponding discrete-time representations, generates a direct digital design for sampled-data implementation, and evaluates its performance characteristics in a realistic environment.
