Abstract
A mobile tracking system including an antenna, gimbal, and GPS subsystem. The mobile tracking system is operable with a plurality of models of gimbal and can automatically determine gimbal parameters based upon a detected model. This allows for plug and play of several gimbal models without the need for further input provided by a user. The mobile tracking system can also identify positional information for the system itself as well as for a tracked node, and can provide gimbal pan/tilt instructions based upon both. This allows for accurate tracking in an environment where the MTS itself is moving.
