Abstract
The present invention extends to methods, systems, devices, apparatus, and computer program products for gimbal stabilized components for remotely operated vehicles. Aspects of the invention include a gimbal stabilized radar system. A radar unit is mounted on a vertical (or horizontal) gimbal attached to a remotely operated aerial vehicle. In aspects, a radar unit is mounted to a gimbal having multiple degrees of freedom. When the remotely operated aerial vehicle rotates and/or changes its orientation in space, the gimbal compensates keeping the direction and elevation angle of the radar essentially constant.
