In this paper, a horizontal LOS(line of sight) rate estimator for conventional sea skimming ASM(anti-ship missile) is proposed. A LOS rate dynamics model for a 2-axis gimbal system and the homing geometry is derived. A new LOS rate estimator is proposed by applying the Kalman filter theory to the LOS rate dynamics model. The proposed filter estimates LOS rates by taking roll motions into account. Simulation results show that the proposed filter produces smaller estimation errors than a conventional method.

The rotational inertial navigation system can provide more accurate navigation information by mounting an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) on the gimbal and rotating the gimbal regularly to cancel out the errors of the IMU. However, when an attitude change occurs due to waves, the attitude error is not removed to 0 at the end of one cycle of the rotation procedure and causes a large position error. In this paper, considering this problem, we propose a method of stabilizing the external gimbal by rotating it based on the roll information of the vehicle. Based on simulation, the impact of waves is analyzed and the performance of external gimbal stabilization is verified.

A two-axis gimbal-type X-band antenna is widely used to transmit bulk image data from high-resolution observation satellites. However, undesirable microvibrations induced by driving the antenna should be attenuated, because they are a main cause of image-quality degradation of the observation satellite. In this study, a pseudoelastic memory alloy (SMA) gear was proposed to attenuate the microvibrations by driving the antenna in an azimuth angle. In addition, the proposed gear can overcome the limitations of the conventional titanium blade gear, which is not still enough and is vulnerable to plastic deformations under excessive torque. To investigate the basic characteristics of the proposed SMA mesh washer gear, a static load test was performed on the thickness of the SMA mesh washer and the rotation of the gear. Moreover, The microvibration measurement test demonstrated that the SMA mesh washer gear proposed in this study is effective for microvibration attenuation.

A stepping motor is widely used to operate the elevation and azimuth stage of the X-band antenna with 2-axis gimbal system for effective image data transmission from a satellite to a ground station. However, such stepping motor also generates an undesirable micro-vibration which is one of the main disturbance sources affecting image quality of the high-resolution observation satellite. In order to improve the image quality, the micro-vibration isolation of the X-band antenna system is essential. In this study, the low rotational stiffness isolator has been proposed to reduce the micro-vibration disturbance induced by elevation direction operation of the X-band antenna. In addition, its structural safety was confirmed by the structure analysis based on the derived torque budget. The effectiveness of the design was also verified through the micro-vibration measurement test.

항공기, 차량, 유도탄 둥과 같은 동적인 플랫폼에서 표적을 추적하기 위해서 시선을 안정화하는 외부의 추적 루프와 내부의 안정화 루프(또는 속도 루프)가 있고, 또한 표적을 추적하기 전 표적을 지향하고 포착하기 위해 김발을 동체에 대해 일정한 각도로 유지하기 위한 위치 루프도가지고 있다. 일반적으로 안정화 루프는 각속도를 측정하기 위한 검출기로 자이로를 사용하고, 위치 루프는 김발각을 제어하기 위한 위치 검출기를 사용한다. 그러나 안정화 루프에 사용되는 자이로는 루프 성능을 최적으로 하기 위해서 고성능/고가의 자이로가 사용되는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 위치 루프에 사용되는 위치 센서인 리졸버를 사용하여 고성능/고가의 자이로 센서 없이 안정화 루프를 설계하였고, 리졸버를 사용하여 설계된 안정화 루프가 동적인 플랫폼에 사용될 수 있는지 시뮬레이션 결과와 실험 결과를 통해 분석하였다.

CMG(Control Momentum Gyro) is a control device being used for spacecraft attitude control constructing relatively large amount of torque compared to conventional body-fixed reaction wheels. The CMG produces gyroscopic control torque by continuously varying the angular momentum vector direction with respect to the spacecraft body. The VSCMG(Variable Speed Control Momentum Gyro) has favorable advantages with variable speed to lead to better control authority as well as singularity avoidance capability. Attitude dynamics with a VSCMG mounted on a two-axis gimbal system are derived in this study. The dynamic equation may be considered as an extension of the single-axis counterpart. Also, a feedback control law design is addressed in conjunction with the dynamic equations of motion.

This paper describes real-time unbalance moment compensation method for line of sight(LOS) stabilization control systems. The factors of system inertia, frictions and unbalance moment affect the control accuracy of drive systems that are equipped to on the move(OTM) platforms requiring LOS stabilization function. In case of the unbalance moment among those factors is continuously changed as variation of relative angle between gravity vector and drive torque vector. Then, consideration of the effect in real-time is very complicate. Therefore, its effect should be designed to be minimized, however, designing it almost zero is impossible in real condition. In other words, it is hard to achieve target performance overcoming stability issue of highly unbalanced systems. To solve these problems, this paper proposes calculation method of unbalance moment by using measured sensor data for LOS stabilization control and its use for control compensation. Also, kinematical converting process and control structure for compensation are explained. The effectiveness of the proposed method as variation of unbalance moment is verified under simulation circumstance modeled by assuming LOS control system with 2-axis gimbal structure.

X-band antenna has been widely used to effectively transmit the high resolution image data from the observation satellite to the ground station. To achieve above mission, X-band antenna is mainly composed of the 2-axis gimbal system using stepping motors and gears. However, the micro-vibration induced by the stepping motor actuation and the imperfect gear teeth alignment during this on-orbit operation is the main source of image quality degradation. In this paper, X-band antenna combined with a blade gear for micro-vibration isolation was suggested and investigated. The structural safety of the blade gear with low rotational stiffness was confirmed by structure analysis based on the derived torque budget. The isolation performance of the X-band antenna with the blade gear was verified through micro-vibration measurement test using the dedicated micro-vibration measurement device proposed in this study.
