Résumé
This project focuses on optimizing the performance of an optical payload used on a high-altitude platform through advancements in its gimbals' stabilization and scanning mechanism, which significantly increases area coverage per flight. The candidate will apply their expertise in control systems to transition the gimbals from an open-loop to a closed-loop control design, resulting in greatly enhanced precision and stability. Furthermore, the project includes replacing off-the-shelf geared servos with custom direct-drive brushless DC motors, further improving control accuracy, reducing mechanical complexity, and boosting overall system performance.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à optimiser les performances d’une charge utile optique utilisée sur une plateforme de haute altitude en améliorant le mécanisme de stabilisation et de balayage de ses cardans, ce qui permet d’augmenter considérablement la couverture de la zone par vol. La personne choisie mettra à profit son expertise en matière de systèmes de contrôle pour faire passer les cardans d’une conception de contrôle en boucle ouverte à une conception de contrôle en boucle fermée, ce qui permettra d’améliorer considérablement la précision et la stabilité de l’appareil. En outre, le projet prévoit le remplacement des servomoteurs à engrenages disponibles sur le marché par des moteurs à courant continu sans balais à entraînement direct, ce qui améliorera encore la précision du contrôle, réduira la complexité mécanique et augmentera les performances globales du système.
