Abstract. Improvements in the Stabilisation Ratio (SR) of current Main Battle
Tanks (MBTs) are due to the use of hull disturbance
feedforward. For the predicted improvements to be realised, it is
shown that the effects of non-linear friction must be compensated
for. Simulations of a linear and non-linear Weapon Control System
(WCS) are used to show the benefits of hull disturbance
feedforward and the necessity to cancel out the effects of
real friction in the non-linear case.
