Trust Automation Contributes to the Development of Multi Mission Launcher for AMRDEC

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., June 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Trust Automation, Inc., known for standard and custom motion and motor control systems and solutions, today announced their contribution to the design and development of the Multi-Mission Launcher (MML) in support of the Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IFPC) program led by the U.S. Army. Trust Automation brings their dynamic and innovative engineering capabilities to support military programs in today's complex and unconventional battlefields.

The U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center (AMRDEC) is the lead developer on this program. This truck based system can be fixed or semi-fixed and will hold 15 launch tubes which can be fired simultaneously at numerous different threats. MML provides 360 degree protection and is capable of targeting unmanned aircraft, cruise missiles, artillery, mortars and rockets.

Trust Automation is developing the elevation controller system for the MML, providing precise electronic control. The Trust Automation controller interfaces with a heavy duty electro-mechanical actuation system to provide motion control to the MML elevation axis. The use of digital signal processing (DSP) technology and complex proprietary algorithms enable synchronous control for the dual actuation system required to raise and lower the MML pallet.
