SANLAB's Dual-Axis Gyro Stabilized Platform

SANLAB’s dual-axis gyro stabilized platform is optimized for use in the harshest of mobile environments.gyro stabilized platform Whether mounted on a vehicle, ship or drone it enhances the performance of sensors in extreme environments, allowing for greater accuracy in data collection and analysis.

Increasingly sophisticated military systems require more precise positioning to enable accurate observation, surveillance and targeting.gyro stabilized platform As a result, the quality of the sensor used must be high to ensure that the platform can maintain its target orientation and LOS (Line of Sight) even in the presence of vibration, noise, friction, resonance, and other disturbances. The system stability generated by the gyro stabilization platform depends on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the stability algorithm selected, the gain settings of this algorithm, and most importantly, the quality of the sensor.

However, determining which type of sensor is required for a specific application can be difficult.gyro stabilized platform To help make this decision, a simulation model is developed and applied to the performance of four different types of commercially available gyro sensors. These simulations, based on the PID-I and the PI2 controller architecture, first compare the performance of the four gyro sensors using an ideal system. Then they are compared with more realistic environmental and system parameters to provide performance criteria for gyro sensor selection.

As can be seen from the results of the simulations, gyro sensor performance increases with increasing frequency response or bandwidth. This is a direct result of the ability of the gyro to measure and react to changing angular rates. The model also includes the effects of system parameters such as vibration, friction and resonance. The result is a clear demonstration that the correct choice of sensor for a particular application can be made only by modeling and simulating its performance in the desired environment.

The performance of the gyro stabilization platform can be further improved by selecting a proper control structure. A simple switching control law was shown to be appropriate for position control mode, while a master-slave structure was proven to be suitable for velocity control. Both of these control structures were able to achieve a good performance level in terms of the error magnitude and response speed.

In addition to these internal stabilization algorithms, the gyro mount can be equipped with an electronic compass that adds to the overall accuracy of the system. This combination allows the system to overcome the influence of vibration, noise and resonance as well as provide a more robust and reliable attitude control function.

This gyro stabilization platform can also be equipped with an ultra-high-speed gyro that provides anti-recoil to effectively mitigate recoil forces and provide stable operation in harsh conditions such as onboard vehicles, boats or drones. This is particularly important for defense applications such as the counter-drone system Snow Leopard, which uses a gyro stabilized mount from iXblue to stabilize the radar and camera. This is a crucial element in the ability to detect, recognize and intercept drones as they approach the border.
