Abstract :
We introduced some of the basic principles, techniques, and key design issues common to ISPs used in many diverse scientific, military, and commercial applications, and we touched on some of the less intuitive effects that must be dealt with. Many of these effects can influence the initial configuration of the system as well as design details later in the design process. The successful design of an ISP usually requires a multidisciplinary design team. The design of an ISP must often be closely coordinated with that of other major subsystems such as the primary sensor and the optics. The role of the systems engineer in the design process is perhaps the most critical because other members of the team may not be aware of the consequences of many of the effects discussed above. Inertially stabilized platforms (ISPs) are used to stabilize and point a broad array of sensors, cameras, telescopes, and weapon systems.
