Abstract—The paper presents a method of synthesizing the Variable Structure Controller (VSC) based on the Fast Terminal Sliding Mode (FTSM) control for an optoelectronic observatory to eliminate the effects of the vibration and the change of vehicle’s direction. An improved fast terminal sliding surface and a fuzzy saturation function have been proposed to develop the improved fast terminal sliding mode variable structure controller (IFTSM-VSC). Based on the theory of Lyapunov stability, the article has proved that the IFTSM-VSC controller ensures the Line of Sight (LOS) stabilization of the observation devices and ensures the tracking errors converge to zero in finite time. The simulation uses data about the vibration and navigation of the vehicle recorded on some streets and roads. Simulation results in Matlab/Simulink show the effectiveness of the IFTSM-VSC controller.
