All-electric gun control system

Based on cutting-edge technologies,

such as brushless motors, unique
anti-backlash features and full digital
control, EPS is a turn-key all-electric
gun control system. Providing MBTs and
IFVs with enhanced weapon laying and
stabilization capabilities, EPS reduces
target engagement time and improves
firing accuracy in all combat scenarios,
from stationary to moving conditions.

Tailored to the specific requirements of armored

vehicles, EPS pointing system comes in two ver- References

• Step-up converter and accumulator (MBT version):
- ultra low power consumption on vehicle’s
power supply
• Fully digitally controlled (servo-loops and com-
munication/interface with Fire Control System)
• PWM current control
• Weapon stabilization (APG course) (*)
- Class of accuracy: 0.6 mrad RMS
• Redundant operating modes, including fully
mechanical one
• Integrated built-in-test equipment
• Sensors for weapon stabilization (gyros,
position sensors)
• Optional stand-alone ballistic computer
• Optional sighting system (SAVAN 15, SAVAN 11,
CM3 LR, CM3 MR)
