TASE 3AX Gimbal Deployment Mechanism

Video Processing System (VPS)
CCT Part No. 900-90026-00

The VPS II is a feature rich embedded video processor that dramatically enhances the performance of the entire TASE Gimbal line. Executing video processing algorithms in the air is critical to obtaining high performance imagery, especially in UAV applications where latency and video transmitter dropouts make ground based systems ineffective.

Key Features

  • E-stab - Converts jittery video into solid, stable imagery
  • Scene Steering - Keeps gimbal pointed at current scene. Allows users to pan and tilt the gimbal with traditional joystick commands
  • Object Tracking - Continuous tracking of selected objects, adjustable track box, coasts through occlusions to stay on target
  • Overlays - Select from a wide range of data for video overlays
  • Target Position Overlays - Overlays the estimated target position on the video Local Contrast Enhancement – Enhances both washed out and shadowed details Image Fusion – Fuses two or three video streams including thermal based false color, and visible light overlays on IR imagery
  • Local Contrast Enhancement - Enhances both washed out and shadowed details

TASE 3AX Gimbal Deployment Mechanism
TASE 3AX Deployment Mechanism
CCT Part No. 900-01398-00

The TASE 3AX Camera Gimbal Deployment Mechanism provides a solution for the TASE150 gimbal to retract into the aircraft during launch, belly-landing and normal operations. It is a compact, robust, light-weight, and low-cost deployment system. When retracted, roll and nod operations prevent gimbal lock while looking directly below the aircraft. The 3AX also provides emergency retract logic if loss of main power occurs.


Key Features

  • 135mm (5.3 inches) width x 154mm (6.1 inches) height x 218mm (8.6 inches) length. The actuator arm swings 13mm (0.6 inches) higher in actuation. Allow a clearance height of 167mm for deployment.
  • Weight 280g (without TASE150 gimbal)
  • Power Consumption is less than 3W during actuation, 1W max when deployed or retracted
  • T8-20 volts DC
  • Retraction control through the TASE150 gimbal
