Considering the engineering requirement to infrared target simulator of the airborne photoelectricity detection simulation systemwe proposed an implementation scheme based on PID control method by using Single Chip Microcomputer (SCM) and brushless DC motor.The method of the PID parameters adjusting was also studiedand design of the motion control system of the infrared target simulator was realized.The application result showed that the simulator is reliable in operationwhich can satisfy the simulation requirements of infrared target.
