Popis: This paper proposes a novel nonlinear control approach for a two-axis gimbal to achieve accurate real-time tracking performance in maritime surveillance applications. For this objective, the control system must overcome system complexities and limitations, including nonlinear dynamics, coupled Euler angle-based measurements, and delay time constraints. The nonlinear backstepping controller was designed, taking into consideration the nonlinearities and system couplings to preserve the system stability. Then, an extra backstep was incorporated to minimize the control errors due to the delay time. The proposed control scheme enhances the tracking performances and expands the system’s bandwidth, which is validated in the simulations and experimental studies in comparison with a super-twisting sliding mode controller introduced in a previous study.
