Model 433 Kineto Tracking Mount (KTM)

The KTM is considered the “Workhorse” on the test ranges. A KTM may be configured for “manned” or “unmanned” operation and it is designed to track fast moving objects very precisely while providing time-space-position-information (TSPI) as required by mission operators. The sensor mounting platforms incorporate a “rail” system to permit quick mounting and bore sight alignment for a wide variety of sensor packages.

Configurations to Satisfy Critical Missions

The KTM meets the requirements of a wide variety of test range and scientific missions:

• Center platform maximizes payload capacity; KTM will carry up to 1200 lbs for automated optical tracking applications(unmanned)
• Center platform may be replaced with a conventional operator console to satisfy manual optical tracking applications(manned); KTM will carry payloads up to 600 lbs plus the operator
• Platform configurations with four (manned) or six (unmanned) payload positions to accommodate a variety of sensors to satisfy complex missions
• Complete turnkey KTM systems are available integrated with cameras, sensors and/or lenses

Field-Proven Rugged and Reliable

The KTM consistently demonstrates its field proven performance and durability:
• Specifically designed to withstand harsh range environments; increased tracking mount life
• The KTM's direct, torque-motor driven mount delivers smooth, jitter-free tracking to ensure precise Time, Space and Position Information (TSPI)
• Self-contained and trailer-mounted, the KTM may be quickly and easily deployed via highway and unimproved roads to remote tracking sites
