Development of Gun Turret Drive Stabilization System with a Microcontroller and Implementation on a Model Tank

Abstract:

Nowadays and in the future, high mobility combat troops will be needed instead of the steady troops in the battlefields. The mobility of troops improves the effect of incursion and prevents troops from becoming an easy target. Mobile gun systems move and vibrate easily because of rough land. Thus, shooting the target and the likelihood of hitting target successfully becomes more difficult for tank gunners. In order to improve the like hood of hitting target and shoot straight, the gun barrel on the turret of a mobile tank has to be stable in the target region.
