[0044] The S35 communicates with the photoelectric tracking device and other equipment through a synchronization module to achieve time synchronization and enable the coordinated operation of various modules in the system.

[0045] The above S4 is implemented as follows: S41 acquires laser coordinates, inertial navigation attitude, autocollimation optical axis data, and photoelectric tracking miss distance information, providing basic data support for target positioning and optical axis calibration.

[0046] S42 optimizes multi-source data through a fusion algorithm to construct a high-precision three-dimensional spatial pointing model, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the system.

[0047] S43, based on fused data, establishes a spatial relationship model between the multispectral optical axis and the reference axis of the photoelectric tracking sight, accurately describing the azimuth and elevation angles of the optical axis in three-dimensional space.

[0048] S44 utilizes a three-dimensional spatial pointing model to accurately calculate the azimuth / elevation angle deviation between the multispectral optical axis and the reference axis of the photoelectric tracking sight, and achieves precise correction through error analysis.

[0049] S45 outputs the calculated deviation value for real-time calibration and pointing adjustment of the photoelectric tracking device, ensuring high-precision tracking performance of the system in complex environments.

[0050] The implementation of S5 above is as follows: S51 monitors parameters such as voltage, current, power, and operating temperature to ensure the stability and reliability of the power supply system and promptly triggers protection mechanisms in abnormal situations to guarantee the normal operation of the system.
