Reconnaissance pod is a key system of an Aircraft that provides stabilized and high-resolution images of a target during the flight. This model is a 2 DOF system made by different integrated subsystems such as: motors, controllers and multi-body system.

These systems must have a robust control in order to provide accurate images regardless of aircraft flight route deviation or maneuvers in high speeds

In this demo problem, a co-simulation using a MotionView (multibody) and Activate (electrical) model is used to: 

• How to model a Reconnaissance Pod in MotionView
• Analyze the system in different fidelity levels
• Integrate the control system through the mechanical using a Closed Loop in Activate
• Render a H3D file that came from the co-simulation
