Control and stability are key requirements for platforms moving across rough terrain or traveling at high speed. To perform effectively turrets must be stabilized to compensate for forward motion and the negative effects of bouncing, rocking, and rolling caused by uneven terrain. With proper stabilization, operators will have more control while the vehicle is in motion.
Andreas Schneider, Director Sales & Commercial
“Drive Technology is a business unit of Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions and we design, develop, manufacture, and sell electromechanical components for stabilization platforms, such platforms are used in Military vehicles such as battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles (eg: Abrams M142, Lockheed Martin AJAX 40mm) or remote-controlled weapon stations(eg: BAE TRT 25mm).”
These platforms must be able to move accurately to locate a target and stabilize a shot. Our solutions are engineered to provide the stability the platform needs while it is in motion and for aiming the turret and they deliver the highest degree of motion control and stability available on the market.
Michael Kleiber, Director Engineering & CTO
“At Curtiss-Wright Drive Technology Solutions stands for high reliability, high flexibility, and high precision. They are designed for a life cycle of up to 30 years. The configuration of the system allows for the upgrade from manual systems up to electromechanically driven systems and these have the stabilized software to compensate for the bumps of the heavy ground.”
Upgrade Path:
- Manual: Mechanical Movement with manual drive
- Electromechanical: Electric movement with servo drive
- Stabilized: Electric movement with basic to high-performance stabilization.
Ulrico Zubler, Managing Director
“We have developed a unique, modular, and scalable concept, we can address different size turrets from remote weapon station to the large caliber of the main battle tank, as well as, we can cover different requirements.”
Andreas Schneider, Director Sales & Commercial
