CAPAS-SR
The Comrod family of CAPAS® Automatic Payload Alignment Systems are designed to meet the challenges faced by public safety, defence and demanding industrial users. CAPAS® systems enables quick and effective deployment of communication or sensor assets in extreme environments without exposing personnel to unnecessary danger.
CAPAS-SR Single Rotator System accomplishes this by enabling 360 degree azimuth rotation of a wide range of payloads.
CAPAS-SR supports both closed loop and open loop alignment, and allows a combination of both. In closed loop alignment mode the system is controlled by a radio transceiver to optimize received signal strength or minimise bit error rate. In open loop alignment mode the system is controlled by the Comrod Integrated Mission Planning System. The powerful drive system coupled with the optional fully integrated GPS compass allows fast and accurate positioning of payloads demanding better than 1.5 degree pointing accuracy. Closed loop feedback from the radio can optimise the alignment within a fraction of a degree.
CAPAS-SR is fully rugged per MIL-STD-810, and is suitable for a wide range of deployable masts, including Comrod TM, LMT and ULM series.
