[0003] However, to achieve stable maintenance of the detection load's view axis pointing, it is necessary to isolate the influence of external environment and internal uncertainty through a complex frame mechanical structure. Under the high dynamic motion of the carrier, the carrier attitude changes and the internal and external frame pointing motion are deeply coupled, which brings new challenges to the modeling of the frame dynamics of the airborne photoelectric tracking system.

When the photoelectric tracking system is carried on a high-speed aircraft to perform a long-distance detection task, the above modeling methods are difficult to accurately describe the frame motion law and serve precise pointing control.
