A Study of Fluidic Gun Stabilization Systems for Combat Vehicles. Revision B

Abstract

A control system was developed for stabilization of the main gun of an armored combat vehicle. The system maintains target alignment of the gun while the vehicle is maneuvering over uneven terrain. The system utilizes fluidic technology for motion sensing, computation, and servovalve control. The program encompassed system dynamic analysis, laboratory testing, and on-vehicle development.
