Operational control logic for harmonized turret with gimbaled sub-systems |
摘要 |
Methods are disclosed for controlling a turret assembly with two or more gimbaled, swivel assembly sub-systems, such as a gimbaled gun and a gimbaled electro-optical sensor. The turret can be automatically slewed in response to one of the swivel assemblies rotating. A user can switch turret modes reflecting a priority between the gimbaled sub-systems system so that one takes priority over the other(s) during a mission. |

1. A method for controlling a turret with swivel assemblies mounted thereon, the method comprising:
providing a turret having a rotatable platform, the rotatable platform at a first position supporting a first swivel assembly for a first pointable device, the rotatable platform at a second position supporting a second swivel assembly for a second pointable device; detecting a rotation angle of the first swivel assembly; slewing the rotatable platform based on the detected rotation angle of the first swivel assembly; and turning the second swivel assembly based on the slewing. |
