Abstract

System for positioning and maintaining position stabilization of a mass such as a barrelled gun supported on a base such as a tracked vehicle. The system employs oppositely rotating disks with fluid actuated clutches for moving the gun barrel mass in a single degree of freedom as determined by a deviation from a predetermined setting.
