[0002] When the radar system on a UAV detects a target of interest, the onboard electro-optical platform needs to quickly turn and stably point at the target to achieve clear reconnaissance. This requires the servo system to complete a 180° rapid turn of the onboard electro-optical platform within 1 second.

[0015] Furthermore, the current loop controller is designed based on the peak stall current, which is calculated by determining the angular acceleration α of the airborne optoelectronic platform based on the condition that the airborne optoelectronic platform needs to be rotated 180° within 1 second. giveThis allows us to determine the maximum output torque τ of the motor. max and peak stall current I max The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0016]

[0017] τ max =L×a give
