Independent control is&amp;nbsp;accomplished via a noninteracting control technique using a static state feedback law. The&amp;nbsp;general analytic expression of the feedback controllers satisfying the I/O decoupling&amp;nbsp;requirement is derived. The necessary and sufficient conditions for noninteracting control with&amp;nbsp;simultaneous stability are explicitly determined in terms of the stability derivatives of the&amp;nbsp;submarine.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
