The line-of-sight(LOS) stabilization system is a precision electro-mechanical gimbals assembly for suppressing vibration due to its environment and tracking the target in a desired direction. This paper describes the design of gimbals system to reject the disturbance and to improve stabilization. The controller consists of a DSP with transducer and actuator interfaces. Unknown parameters of the gimbals are estimated by the signal compression method. The cross-correlation coefficient between the impulse response from the assumed model and the one from model of the gimbals is used to obtain the better estimation. The quasi-impulse response through linear element included in the gimbals could be obtained by the signal compression method. The unknown parameter of the linear element could be estimated as comparing the bode plots for impulse response from gimbals with them from model's response.

2 axis gimbals systems are extensively used in various tracking devices for attaining the system's objective. Designers are sometimes passing over the dynamic characteristics of system in vibrating condition In this paper, 2 axis gimbals systems including interface elements is modeled with finite elements. To verify this model, the finite element model is refined by using the experimental model data. The refined model is simulated with I-DEAS and MSC.NATRAN's FRF(Frequency response Function) and RRA(Random vibration Response Analysis) function to get dynamic characteristics of 2 axis gimbals system.

The line-of-sight (LOS) stabilization system is a precision electro-mechanical gimbals assembly for rejecting vibration to isolate the load from its environment and point toward the target in a desired direction. This paper describes the design of gimbals system to reject the disturbance and to improve stabilization. To generate movement commands for the actuators in the stabilization system, the control system uses a sensor of angular rotation. The controller is a DSP with transducer and actuator interfaces. Unknown parameters of the gimbals are estimated using the signal compression method. The cross-correlation coefficient between the impulse response from the assumed model and the one from model of the gimbals is used to obtain the better estimation. And SMCPE (sliding mode control with perturbation estimation) is used to control the gimbals. SMCPE provides robustness of the control against the modeling deficiencies and unknown disturbances. In order to compare the performance of SMCPE with the classical SMC, a sample test result is presented.

This paper describes the development of gimbals engine actuation system for KSR(Korean Sounding Rocket)-III which performs the attitude control of pitch and yaw axes by thrust vector control of liquid propellant gimbals engine. The development requirements of configuration, performance and environment are introduced, and the principles and details of components and system development are discussed. The developed system successfully fulfilled its own performance and environmental evaluation. It will be planned to perform verification of interface and integration compatibility with other related systems, and then mounted on KSR-III as a flight hardware system.

A naval shipboard inevitably movies in a pitch and roll direction under the influence of wave and wind in the sea. As a result, the shipboard gets in a continuous turning motion back/front and right/left. And the shipboard is also constantly exposed to many different kinds of disturbance signals including the vibrations of various frequencies from the internal equipments and their vibrations, strong waves, and impact from explosion. This paper formulates multi-body dynamic models similar to an actual system and simulates the pitch/roll positions of a 2-axes gimbals with PI controller for consecutive behavior of a naval shipboard including disturbance.

EO TGP(Electro-Optical Targeting Pod) is an optical tracking system which has various functions such as target tracking and image stabilization and LOS(Line of Sight) change. Especially, it is very important to move the LOS into a interest point for joystick command. When pilot move joystick in order to observe different scene, EO TGP gimbals should be operated properly. Generally, most EOTS just operate corresponding gimbal for joystick command. For example, if pilot input horizontal command in order to observe right hand screen, it just drive azimuth gimbal at any position. But in the screen, the image dosen't move in a horizontal direction because gimbal structure is Euler angle. And image rotation is occurred by elevation gimbal angle. So we need to move Pitch gimbal. So in the paper, we designed LOS moving algorithm which convert LOS command to gimbal velocity command to move LOS properly. We modeled a differential kinematic equation and then change the joystick command into velocity command of gimbals. This algorithm generate velocity command of each gimbal for same horizontal direction command. Finally, we verified performance through MATLAB/Simulink.

An Image-Based Target Tracker maintains LOS(Line Of Sight) to a target by controlling azimuth and elevation gimbals of an ISS(Inertially Stabilized System). Its controller produces the gimbals commands of the ISS using tracking errors provided by an image tracker. The control performance of the target tracker with PI controller generally used for tracking controller is limited because of bandwidth limitation by time delay yielded by image capture and processing of the image tracker. In this paper, tracking controller using target states estimator is proposed which can enhance the tracking performance under the highly dynamic maneuvering conditions of the ISS and the target. Simulation results show that the proposed method can improve the tracking performance than that with only PI controller.
