Vladislav Rutkovskii, in full Vladislav Yul’evich Rutkovskii (also transliterated as Rutkovsky), was a well-known scientist in the theory and systems of automatic control. He was born in Pereslavl-Zalessky (the Yaroslavl Region) in the family of doctors.

Having graduated with honors from Moscow Aviation Institute (1952), Rutkovskii joined the Institute of Automation and Remote Control (IARC), the USSR Academy of Sciences. In 1957, Rutkovskii defended his candidate’s dissertation; in 1965, his doctoral dissertation. In 1968, he became Professor.

His first R&D works were devoted to thrust control of liquid-propellant rocket engines and ballistic rocket control based on engine thrust mismatch.

Rutkovskii’s publications on the dynamics of nonlinear servomechanisms with delay are widely known.

He is considered a founder of the theory of adaptive systems with a model. Rutkovskii participated in developing and implementing the first Soviet self-adaptive control systems for two classes of rockets.

In addition, Rutkovskii established fundamental results in the principles and theory of control systems for deformable spacecraft and multilevel control systems theory.

From 1958 to 1994, Rutkovskii taught basic courses at the Department of Aircraft Control Systems (Moscow Aviation Institute).

For a long time, he was a member of the IFAC Technical Committee on Space and worked in the Higher Attestation Commission (HAC). Also, Rutkovskii served in two peer-reviewed journals, Automation and Remote Control (as a member of the editorial board and the editorial council) and Izvestiya RAN. Teoriya i Sistemy Upravleniya (as a member of the editorial board).

Until the last days of his life, Rutkovskii was a member of the National Committee on Automatic Control. He supervised one of the Institute’s scientific schools, was a member of the Institute’s Academic Council (and headed one of its sections). Also, he was a deputy chairman of an Institute’s dissertation council.

Rutkovskii deserved authority in many organizations engaged in aircraft control systems design. His works are generally recognized in Russia and abroad.

Awards:

Order of the Badge of Honor (1961), Order of Friendship (2011)
The USSR State Prize (1970, 1981)
Honored Man of Science of the Russian Federation (1996)
The Petrov Gold Medal (1983)
