Selected aspects of a movable shooting system of the Mi-24 helicopter

Abstract Controlling a mobile shooting system with a tracking system raises concerns regarding mechanics, automation and electrics. Significant acceleration of the helicopter assembly platform involves continuous oscillations in all directions, which increases the dynamic error. Currently, only the static error is checked during maintenance, which does not consider the conditions during the flight. Furthermore, ageing processes, especially those of mechanical elements, deepen the oscillation of the tracking system of the mobile shooting system. The authors present a proposal deemed for improvement, thanks to low-cost remedial measures and the system’s stability by taking into account dynamic errors.
