Auto
Automated
(Geo Position Locked to
Selectable Position)
AUTO
• To maintain a locked image position on ground,
system steers turret to compensate for changes in
vehicle movement.
• Pressing the slew transducer will update to a new
Geo Position coordinates.
Auto Aid
Auto Assisted
(Turret Movement
Priority)
AAID
• From an Auto steering mode, system will pan and
tilt the turret at a fixed speed to compensate for
target movement on ground.
• Turret movement is measured to sustain a
continuous movement.
Zmulti
Assisted
(Focal Length Priority)
MAN
(Reverse Video)
• Zoom multiplier scales the slew transducer’s
sensitivity to the focal length of the Video-In-
Control.
• For sensors at a long focal length (narrow FOV), the
turret will automatically slow steering response.
• For sensors at a short focal length (wide FOV), the
turret will speed steering response.
Slew
Automated
AUTO
• System steers turret to fixed coordinates supplied
by radar, moving map, or other external source.
• Operator has no steering control of turret.
• Slew transducer disabled until turret reaches
position.
Autoscan
Automated
SCAN
• System steers turret in a defined sweep pattern.
• Operator has no steering control of turret.
• Slew transducer disabled.
Note: Steering sweep is software configurable and
can be defined by an operator.
*Automatic
Video Tracker
Automated
AVT
• System steers turret to remain on a locked target.
• When locked on a target, operator has limited
steering control. The center reticle can be moved off
target (slight offset) to permit limited scene
investigation.
*Geo-Scan
Automated
GSCN
• System steers turret in a user defined sweep
pattern.
• Operator has no steering control once Geo-Scan is
initiated.
• Slew transducer disabled.
