摘要

High-precision laser communication tracking requires strong robustness and fast transient recovery to maintain stable pointing under gust loads, step commands, and abrupt disturbances. This paper develops an improved super-twisting sliding-mode control scheme for the tracking mount of a mobile optical ground station. A nonlinear integral sliding manifold is introduced to eliminate steady-state errors caused by constant matched disturbances while avoiding excessive integral action for large errors. In addition, an error-dependent damping mechanism is embedded to strengthen disturbance rejection when the tracking error is driven away from the origin and to preserve fast response near equilibrium. Experiments on a mobile laser-communication tracking mount under composite conditions (large step commands, wind perturbations, and step disturbances) demonstrate reduced peak tracking error and faster error decay with negligible overshoot compared with a conventional STA baseline. The proposed design provides a practical robust control solution for precision tracking in complex outdoor environments.
