This paper studies the constrained pointing control problem of airborne electro-optical gimbals subjected to composite periodic and aperiodic disturbances. Under carrier vibration, input delay, and actuator constraints, achieving line-of-sight stabilization and tracking is challenging. A disturbance-separated model predictive control (MPC) scheme is proposed to compensate these heterogeneous disturbances according to their physical characteristics. An adaptive periodic observer predicts multi-harmonic vibrations over the MPC horizon using linear-regression frequency estimation. A linear observer estimates the aperiodic disturbance, and a bounded long short-term memory (LSTM) network predicts its change over the input delay. Embedding periodic predictions into the MPC model while applying aperiodic compensation outside the optimizer limits amplification of aperiodic estimation errors and improves pointing accuracy under frequency changes and parameter mismatch. On the stated headroom envelope, input-set tightening provides feasible commands within the prescribed limits, and a regional practical tracking bound is established under explicit input-sequence and predicted-state margin conditions. A UAV-mounted two-axis gimbal platform is assembled for comparative indoor hovering experiments, complemented by simulations under frequency changes and parameter mismatch. In the reported trials, the proposed method achieves yaw and pitch relative-angle root-mean-square errors (RMSEs) of 0.770 degrees and 0.350 degrees, reducing tracking errors by 25.1% and 45.9% compared with linear active disturbance rejection control.
