Servomotors Stabilize And Position Sensor Turrets On UAVs

Lightweight, high-efficiency servomotors stabilize and position sensor turrets on unmanned aerial vehicles.

There was a time when reconnaissance meant either multi-million dollar satellites snapping a few shots per orbit or pilots risking their necks to fly over hostile territory. Today, recon is dominated by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), a much more cost effective approach that presents no risk to the operators, who are not only on the ground but frequently on the other side of the globe.
