This paper describes the features of designing control systems for moving platforms with equipment of different types including optical sensors, antennas, video cameras, and observation equipment. The features of linearization of the mathematical description are described. Such features include the influence of the hysteresis in the gyroscopic device and the backlash in the controlling drive of the platform. The recommendations for linearization of the non-linearities as mentioned earlier are given. The features of introducing disturbances in the mathematical description of moving platforms are represented. The technique of creating forming filters for the simulation of disturbances caused by irregularities of relief of road and terrain is described. Such an approach is relevant for moving platforms operated on land vehicles. The procedure for creating a robust controller resistant to internal and external disturbances is given. The synthesis of the control system for the moving platform has been realized. The simulation results are represented. The obtained results can be useful for the control systems of the different moving vehicles
