  • Patent number: 12699277
    Abstract: An optronic sight for a motorized vehicle such as an aerial or marine vehicle propelled by a propeller, or a tracked land vehicle. The optronic sight can include an aiming module, means for moving the aiming module about the first and second axes, and means for continuously measuring angular data. The optronic sight can further include a feedback control loop having means for continuously measuring the acceleration of the aiming module in three orthogonal directions of the space, means for detecting at least one fundamental frequency of the vibratory disturbances, and an adaptive corrector configured to continuously receive as input said fundamental frequency, a discrepancy between an angular setpoint value and said angular data, output a movement setpoint value to the moving means.

  • Patent number: 12386337
    Abstract: A device comprising at least one electromechanical system and an electronic control unit comprising both a servo control loop connecting together the input and the output of the electromechanical system, and also a digital corrector. The device includes a software module having an input and an output connected respectively to the output and to the input of the electromechanical system. For each frequency of a set of frequencies that are to be analyzed, the software module is programmed: to issue a sinusoidal excitation signal on its output and to recover a response signal on its input; to model the response signal by means of a Fresnel representation and to filter it about the excitation frequency by means of at least one Kalman filter in order to obtain a state vector of the filtered response signal; and to obtain at least one transfer function for the system from the model, from the excitation signal, and from the input signal.

  • Publication number: 20250028184
    Abstract: The invention relates to an optronic sight (2) for a motorised vehicle such as an aerial, marine or land vehicle, comprising a sighting module (4) able to be moved about a first axis (8a) and a second axis (10) not parallel to the first axis (8a), means (17a, 17b) for moving the sighting module about the first (8a) and second (10) axes, means (14) for continuously measuring an angular datum of said module (4) about the first and second axes characterised in that it comprises a feedback control loop comprising: means for acquiring the fundamental frequency of vibratory disturbances generated by the operation of at least one device of the sight, and an adaptive corrector (26) configured to receive as input: said fundamental frequency, a discrepancy between an angular setpoint value (yck) and said angular datum outputting a movement setpoint value to the movement means (17a, 17b).
