In this chapter, we discuss requirements and control system architectures that provide command tracking. This is a very important attribute in aerospace, automotive, and other industrial control problems. We begin by reviewing classical control terminology on system types and then extend this to the servomechanism problem. We then use the servomechanism problem formulation within an optimal control setting to design optimal command tracking controllers, optimal in the sense of the numerical weights used in the performance index. We shall spend considerable time discussing examples on how to select these weights using aerospace control example problems.
