Vehicle Mounted Optical Sight Compact Vehicle Power Supply Small Size, Low Profile Low Weight The Customer's Challenge The priority for this manufacturer of optical sights was improved im- age stability, requiring improved system response time. Being vehicle mounted, reduced size was another key focus for this upgrade of an existing optical sight and associated gimbal system. We worked with them to develop a power solution to drive the sensing electronics and the various motors in the system. The supply needed to meet stringent MIL-STD-704F transient input voltage limits for this 28V system. The Solution The power supply was based on the MIL-COTS DCM DC-DC Converter Module, which met the wide steady state
