Turrets: Design, Applications, and Control

Turret Structure and Capabilities

Two-axis mechatronic turrets designed to ensure precise control of antennas and various onboard systems, with a high degree of adaptability.

Areas of Application

Used in the defense and aerospace sectors, they are employed for surveillance, tracking, communication, and threat response missions.

Control systems

High-performance control systems that ensure operation and coordination with radars and other mission-related equipment.

The turrets developed by Cegelec Défense Mechatronics Solutions are mechatronic systems typically consisting of two axes: an azimuth axis, which rotates around the vertical axis, and an elevation axis, which rotates around the horizontal axis. This architecture allows for the integration and control of various types of payloads, such as parabolic antennas ranging from 0.5 m to 13 m in diameter, as well as ballistic, electromagnetic, or laser weapon systems.

This equipment is designed for the defense and aerospace industries. The turrets can be installed in a fixed configuration or mounted on mobile land-based or naval platforms. They are integrated into major applications, notably in the fields of electronic warfare, trajectory tracking coupled with video or RF rangefinders, radio links with UAVs, anti-drone operations, the tracking and neutralization of ballistic systems, continuous radar surveillance (24/7), 7 days a week), tracking of geostationary or passing satellites, as well as in telemetry applications.

The mechanics of these turrets are controlled by standard command and control systems, adapted to each application. These systems are capable of communicating with other equipment such as radars, target designation devices, or remote management solutions associated with the mission.
