Electro-Optical/Infrared systems require smooth, responsive motion perfectly coordinated between azimuth and elevation axes. To acquire and hold a steady image, motion systems must endure and counteract forces such as the pounding of land vehicles in action, the turbulence of aircraft in flight, and the extreme conditions encountered at sea or even in space.

The ability to respond quickly to incoming threats depends on real-time accuracy and high image resolution. And the accuracy and resolution of these images depends on the size of the antenna and the ability to position it with continuous and unfailing precision.

Naval vessels are becoming more sophisticated and the roles they fulfill are expanding. Advanced systems for weapon targeting, threat detection, surveillance and ship-board automation are just a few application examples that are keeping military personnel safe while helping them perform more effectively at sea.
