This paper discusses the relationships that must be considered in analyzing the design and performance of typical precision stabilization systems. In particular, the disturbance inputs that are due to kinematic and geometrical coupling are examined in depth by considering systems implemented with either a conventional two-axis gimbal or a traditional half-angle mirror assembly. The disturbance coupling that is associated with the gimbal drive actuators and the effect of structural compliance on the stabilization control loops are also discussed in detail. Other aspects of stabilization system design that are considered include the potential improvements in performance that can be achieved by using appropriate multiaxis gimbal configurations and by utilizing the angular pointing characterisitics of beam expansion telescopes.
