Abstract
Systems and method for active vibration control on an aircraft. An active vibration control system (AVCS) is configured for an aircraft having an aircraft structure and a gun. The AVCS includes at least one control sensor on the aircraft, at least one force generator on the aircraft, and at least one controller in electronic communication with the sensor and the force generator. The controller is configured for determining, using the at least one control sensor, force generating commands for controlling vibrations acting on the aircraft structure, sending the force generating commands to the at least one force generator, causing the at least one force generator to produce a vibration canceling force, determining that the gun is firing, and in response to determining that the gun is firing, determining different force generating commands and sending the different force generating commands to the at least one force generator.
