Naval Steering and Diving Control Actuation System (SDCAS)

101-85-1-NAVAL-STEERING-AND-DIVING-CONTROL-ACTUATION-SYSTEM-(SDCAS)-grey-bckgrd-700x400.psd

The Steering and Diving Control Actuation System (SDCAS) controls the four (4) main control surfaces, or fins, of an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV). The system receives digital commands over a serial bus (multiple protocols are available) and power from either AC or DC bus power. SDCAS drives each fin to the master controllers commanded position independently. The system also outputs various system monitor parameters, warnings, and faults. This includes motor temperatures, fin lock status, bus current and voltage, and communication status with each actuator.
