Turret Test Systems

The Moog Turret Test System is based on a high performance 6 Degrees of Freedom (DOF) electric motion system with powerful test software to simulate test tracks and test performance of the turret stabilizer. On the top platform of the Turret Tester, the user can install an actual turret or a remote weapon station. It can handle a wide range of payloads up to 28,000 kg (61,700 lb) and meet specific requirements related to particular excursions, velocities or accelerations. 

The Moog Replication Software Module has been developed to accurately simulate the vehicle movements as recorded on the test track using high precision accelerometers. System identification and iteration is done using state-of-the-art algorithms for quick and easy drive-file development. 

Moog can extensively customize motion systems and top platforms to meet your performance and interface requirements.
