Curtiss-Wright’s TDSS will deliver stabilized turret system control for the XM30, enabling accurate engagement of moving targets while the vehicle maneuvers across rugged terrain.

Curtiss-Wright today announced it has been selected by Rheinmetall Landsysteme Germany (RLS) to provide its modular turret drive stabilization system (TDSS) technology in support of the KF51 Panther Main Battle Tank (MBT).

Our high-speed, highly precise solutions are also used in applications such as train tilting systems and Hollywood camera crane drive and stabilisation systems.

In this Feature BATTLESPACE looks inside the turret of an armoured vehicle with those manufacturers who design and develop these systems, Curtiss-Wright, IEE Displays, Oxley and BCB International.

High Voltage Turret Drive Stabilization System (HV TDSS) converts, stores, controls 28V source power up to 750V.

Agreement provides cost-effective replacement/overhaul of original Ulan IFV turret drive system electronic components and mechanical hardware.

From the outside, the turret system on a ground vehicle may appear a straightforward mechanism.

Under the contract, valued at approximately $25 million, Curtiss-Wright will supply RBSL with its cost-effective, scalable Turret Drive Servo System (TDSS) and other system components in support of the UK MOD's tank upgrade program.
