This paper presents the control of shot position of cannon driven by electromagnetic fields. First, the design and construction of a mechanical structure for the shot platform with two degrees of freedom is presented, then the designed and implementation of position control for shot of the cannon is presented. Finally, its present’s adaptation of an inertial navigation system, which allow find the fall position of the shot projectile. For the designed of controller was used the root locus method, to obtain the desired response of the closed loop system from its open loop behavior. As a result, a response controlled was obtained; within the design, parameters predefined which allow control the position and orientation of the electromagnetic cannon shot.
