A roll-pitch seeker has a wide field of view but suffers from a singularity as the sightline coincides with the outer gimbal (OG) axis. In the vicinity of the singularity, the tracking effectiveness is often degraded or even lost due to the high actuation demand on OG, which is known as the zenith pass problem. To solve this problem, this paper first proposes a novel motion model of sightline to predict the singularity in a receding horizon, where the model parameters are identified using a modified recursive least square estimator. And with the singularity predictions as set points, a predictive functional controller is then designed for the OG position control to minimize the tracking error. This novel combination control scheme is validated in MATLAB/Simulink. Simulation results have confirmed that the proposed scheme can significantly mitigate the zenith pass problem and be applied to the real-time tracking process.
