Enhancing the kinematic quality of a single-axis stabilizing platform on a high-speed spinning-body aircraft

Abstract

Within the orientation system, a single-axis stabilizing platform is employed to mitigate the effects of high-speed aircraft body rotation on the sensors. To analyze its kinematic characteristics, this paper develops a dynamic model of the stabilizing platform's motion. Misalignment between the platform's axis and the rotational axis of the spinning-body aircraft introduces disturbance components that affect stabilization quality. This paper proposes a solution to reduce platform oscillations by employing a viscous vibration absorber. Simulation results using MATLAB Simulink clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.
