Second-order version of ballistic missile attitude-control system, with thrust gimbal deflection limiting, is examined; exact stability boundaries are found, and Lyapunov boundary is derived as function of system parameters, which is identical to exact boundary in critical regions of system phase plane; third-order version, which includes gimbal dynamics, deflection limiting, and deflection rate limiting, is analyzed; exact boundaries in portion of phase space are found, and extension of second-order results is considered.
