Combining a 3-Axis Flight Motion Simulator (FMS) with a 2-Axis Target Motion Simulator (TMS) leads to a 5-Axis motion simulator design. This allows comprehensive HardWare-In-the-Loop tests (HWIL) for testing and development of guided missiles, munitions and other inertial systems. Almost 100% of all HWIL systems worldwide delivered over the last 50 years have been designed and built by ACUTRONIC and CARCO Electronics.

5-Axis Flight Motion Simulator S-593R-5E

    The Series S-593R-5E Flight Motion Simulator (FMS) is designed for testing of hit-to-kill ballistic missile interceptors that have high closing velocities, extreme accuracy requirements and impulse control systems. It consists of a precision, high dynamic three-axis Missile Motion Simulator (MMS) and a precision two-axis Target Motion Simulator (TMS) mounted to a common base so that all five axes intersect at a common point.
