MILITARY SENSORS AND IMAGING
OBJECTIVE: As part of this mission, PVP Advanced Electro-Optical Systems, Inc. (PVPAEO), Tustin, CA, develops and integrates sensors and imaging systems for space, airborne, ship and land based applications that incorporate advanced infrared and image intensified cameras, lasers and laser rangefinders. Customers include the US military, NASA, Dept. of Homeland Security, and major aerospace and defense contractors.
CUSTOMER CHALLENGE
Must meet specific requirements for shape and size, include a VME interface, handle such software needs as closing the servo loop around the gyro, and meet the standard communication protocol required by the customer. The latter involved adapting the controller to a special, ultra-high resolution encoder which ensured pinpoint accuracy and position memory during power-up. It also must meet the “need-it-now” delivery schedule and tight budget requirements and deliver a controller that fits in a super small space, has a minimum of components, and does not require much power.
SOLUTION
For this application, the DMC-1425 provides a Position Mode which responds to user commands for specific elevation and azimuth angles, and a Rate Mode which is designed to close the loop around the gyro so that the sight line can remain stable even when the vehicle is driving over uneven and bumpy terrain. It incorporates a high-performance, flexible and rugged Pan & Tilt gimbal that accommodates a wide range of sensors and video tracker configurations, while providing continuous operation with no scheduled maintenance, even under extreme conditions. The Galil controller proved to be very flexible and also runs 24/7 and not one controller has failed.
