This paper presents a complete nonlinear parameter-dependent mathematical model, as well as a procedure for computing the quasi-linear parameter-varying (q-LPV) model of a class of spin-stabilized canard-controlled guided projectiles. The proposed projectile concept possesses a so-called dual-spin configuration: the forward section contains the necessary control and guidance software and hardware, whereas the aft roll-decoupled and rapidly spinning section contains the payload. Wind-axes instead of body-axes variables, as is the case in the existing literature, are preferred for the modeling of the highly coupled pitch/yaw airframe nonlinear dynamics, since they are better suited to control synthesis. A q-LPV model, approximating these nonlinear dynamics around the system equilibrium manifold and capturing their dependence on diverse varying flight parameters, is analytically obtained. In addition, a detailed stability analysis specific to this kind of weapons is performed throughout their large flight envelope using the aforementioned q-LPV model. Furthermore, a study is conducted in order to quantify the influence of reducing the dimension of the flight parameter vector on the exactness of the q-LPV model. Finally, the critical influence on the pitch/yaw-dynamics of the nose-embedded sensor position, and of uncertainty on the various static and dynamic aerodynamic coefficients as well as the aerodynamic angles, is shown.
