Introduction: The New Positioner is being designed to provide fast and accurate

positioning of External sensors, cameras, antennas, lasers and other payloads like
Radio communication. This positioned is improved with an enhanced electronics
package offering new advantages to mission critical applications. Users will enjoy
the capacity of multiple configurable communication ports for convenient payload
Integration and communication. The gear mechanism has been customised to
provide low back lash. The system is capable to provide multimode operation.

Applications:
 Microwave antenna systems

 Perimeter monitoring systems

 Integration with Thermal, IR and HD cameras

Harbour and port security

Border security and other Military special operations

Highway & transportation/Traffic monitoring

Mid and short range surveillance system

Key Features: Positioner

1. Alignment Applications: GPS/RSSI Based tracking/ telemetry

for Radio and radar communications.
2. Legacy communication port IP (Ethernet), RS-232 and RS-
422 for Serial control of positioned and pay load.
3. Provision for Composite connector and cable for power and
control in order to eliminate bunch of cables for the ease of
cable management
4. Alignment as per GPS Coordinates fed to the system
5. Built in sensors like digital compass, inclinometer and
accelerometer.
6. The rugged antenna pedestals support a wide range of
antenna sizes for max Wind area maximum 0.6 m 2 and
payload Maximum 30 Kg
7. Mounting arrangement for various payloads like Thermal
Imagers, HD and Megapixel Cameras.
8. Cable management is much easier as connector and cable is
not subjected to rotation. This allows the freedom of
movement to cables beyond 180 Degree. Thus eliminates the
possibility to get it entangle around the mast or Positioner.

9. System has inbuilt GPS module in order to track the location.

10. System has Magnetometer, Accelerometer and gyroscope. In

order to find the magnetic North, angular velocity, orientation
of direction etc.

11. The Positioner will be controlled by a ACU which is a Indoor

control box.
