Rugged motion control gimbal to position sensor payloads in air-defense applications introduced by Cobham

ARLINGTON, Va. – Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions in Arlington, Va., is introducing the SPS-1000 multi-axis gimbal system for military applications such as counter unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and air defense operations.

The SPS-1000 is a sensor positioning system (SPS) that acquires, tracks, and points a variety of sensor payloads in harsh land, sea, and airborne environments.

The SPS-1000 offers integral field-replaceable control electronics, which eliminates all external cables without any sacrifice in performance; and a reconfigurable design allowing for utmost payload flexibility.

The SPS-1000 motion control device can support payloads as heavy as 150 pounds, and features brushless direct drive DC motors; absolute optical encoders; C-based firmware; as well as gyro stabilization/slip ring and customer I/O interface options. The SPS-1000 will be available in January 2020.
