ADAPTIVE VELOCITY TRACKER

摘要

The disclosure is directed to a high precision two axis tracking system having adaptive angular velocity comprising: a pedestal coupled to a foundation; a slew drive comprising a modular velocity rotation driver operably coupled to the pedestal; an azimuth yoke operably coupled to the slew drive and hingedly coupled to an elevation hub; an elevation hub comprising a modular velocity elevation driver, hingedly coupled to the azimuth yoke; a directional apparatus configured to be precisely pointed towards a target, operably coupled to the elevation hub; and a processor operably coupled to the tracking system.
