Abstract

The Line Of Sight (LOS) electro-optical sighting system based on gyroscopic stabilized gimbal staging is difficult to control because of the non-linearities, friction, disturbances and many other unknown parameters associated with the outside environment. Disturbance Observer (DOB) provides an estimate of the disturbance, which is used to perform disturbance compensation by using negative feedback. To meet advanced LOS disturbance rejection requirement, in this work, compensator and PI controller with DOB are designed for an electromechanical gimbal. The system modelling and control design are carried out in MATLAB/Simulink. Simulation results show the performance enhancement of control structure with DOB in the presence of disturbance and measurement noise. The work focuses on command following, disturbance-rejection specifications as well as robustness of the system to be met.
