Abstract
A stabilization system is provided with at least one sensor to measure and correct orientation of a platform relative to an inertial reference frame. A roll motor is affixed to a platform for pivoting the platform about a roll axis and an elevation motor is configured to rotate the platform about an elevation axis. A rotation motor pivots the platform about an azimuth axis. A control system using the sensor measurements, actuates the roll motor, elevation motor and the rotation motor to maintain a substantially constant orientation of the platform relative to the inertial frame of reference. The rotation motor, the elevation motor and the roll motor are spaced apart from each other along the azimuth axis.
