Abstract
The control system, software design and implementation issues for a large, 15,000 pounds, high accuracy, high dynamics, low jitter multi-axis gimbal set, optical Beam director Assembly are discussed in this paper. The definite success of the Contraves Brashear Systems approach to design and implement these unique systems is discussed and results shown.
