Attack Helicopter Camera Carrying and Balancing System Design

Abstract

At this paper, a unique, domestic attack helicopter camera carrying and balancing system compliant with MIL-STD-810G military standards was designed. This system is designed with reference to the AH-1 Super Cobra type helicopter, which is also used by the Turkish Armed Forces. Thus, the data obtained as a result of the study both brought a dynamic camera system design unique to the scientific literature, and a design that could be an alternative to an existing product was created. This system has an important place in recording the operation and directing it live in helicopters or unmanned aerial vehicles. In order for the system camera to record the image clearly, to avoid any shifts or skips in the image, the mechanism is used to prevent backlash, reverse drive, vibration, etc. The system in accordance with MIL-STD-810G standards designed in this study was designed to fulfill these requirements. In addition, the fact that the system was designed for a helicopter in the inventory of the Turkish Armed Forces also gives this design a localization potential.
