This paper develops new results to the problem of simultaneous feedback stabilization using static output feedback (SOF) control for a finite collection of linear dynamical systems with unknown state delay. We establish tractable synthesis conditions for nominal SOF controllers and subsequently extend the results to resilient SOF to cope with possible additive controller gain perturbations. In both cases, the design of SOF controllers is based on guaranteed cost and 
approaches. Previous related results are recovered and all the developed results are conveniently cast in the format of linear matrix inequalities. A numerical example is presented.
Keywords: simultaneous stabilization; guaranteed cost control; 
control; time-delay systems; static output feedback; LMIs.
