The invention discloses a method for improving the tracking precision of a photoelectric 
tracking system. According to the technical scheme, the method is characterized by comprising the following steps that S01, the equivalent K of a television tracker is determined; S02, 
lag time tau of the television tracker is determined; S03, the miss distance pixel value deltathetan obtained by the television tracker is converted into a miss distance angle value dthetan, dthetan=deltathetan / K,n=1, 2,..., and n is a positive integer; S04, an angle value thetao and an n translation number N of the photoelectric 
tracking system are determined, N=tau / T1, and T1 is an 
instrument data sampling interval; S05, target position data thetai, n-N, thetai, n-N=dthetan+thetao, n-N are determined; and S06, a photoelectric 
tracking system is controlled to track the target according to the target position data. The equivalent K of the television tracker and the 
lag time tau of the television tracker are determined, the miss distance data deltathetan are processed according to the two pieces of data, the precision of the obtained target position information is greatly improved, the target position information serves as feedforward of the photoelectric tracking 
system, and the tracking precision and stability of the photoelectric tracking 
system are greatly improved.
