Soldiers have reported, on several occasions, being able to hit targets that couldn’t be seen with the naked eye. This is due at least in part to the rounds themselves, which are often more than simple bullets. Many of the armaments used have self-contained stabilization and guidance systems to help keep them on track, but this level of accuracy requires more than fancy bullets. The turret movements have a surprisingly large impact on the trajectory of the cannon’s rounds, and the Paladin uses this to its advantage. A sophisticated network of sensors and computers monitor the position of the tank and turret in relation to the target, and adjust the movements for optimum placement around 30 times per second! Information from the sensors is used to calculate appropriate counter movements, which need to be made quickly and accurately. While several servo controllers have the technical capabilities to handle the movements, few can withstand the environments inside a Paladin tank. ESI’s Dragon Line of servo controllers function at temperatures up to 100 degrees Celsius, are fully submersible, and are packed in a military grade, ruggedized housing to match the combat vehicle itself.
