Main Battle-Tank Fire Control Systems - Control Handle Characteristics

摘要

This document describes the test to characterize the control handle. To be determined are the neutral zone (deflection angle of control handle without weapon movement) with backlash (angle of free mechanical movement), the weapon response to deflection, and the required torque for deflection. This ITOP covers the angular displacement type control handle and cannot be applied to power controllers in general. Keywords: Azimuth, Elevation, Tanks(Combat vehicles), Fire control systems.
