Problem Statement
A preliminary design and a proof-of-principal prototype are needed for a window positioning system to be used in a tank-launched projectile. The device must position a small germanium window into an infrared sensor’s optical path to perform Non-Uniformity Compensation.
Raytheon Seekers 7
Project Requirements
NUC Mechanism must:• Survive 10KG launch acceleration normal to the
window face• Packaged in 0.235” thick by 2.89” diameter cylinder,
excluding electronics• Move a 0.50” x 0.44” x 0.04” thick Germanium lens to
cover a photocell array• Require less than 24 Watts at a maximum of 24 Vdc for
less than 1 second• Move lens in and out of the field of the array in less than
1 second, and remain in position for 1 second

What Is Infrared Imaging
• Light at frequencies below visible red are considered infrared
• All objects emit infrared energy at ordinary temperatures
• Objects with higher temperatures emit more infrared energy
Raytheon Seekers 9
Infrared Seeker Operation
• Modern “Heat Seekers”:– Employ advanced
infrared sensor arrays
– Utilize computer programs to select, target, and guide munitions towards specific images
Non-Uniformity Compensation (NUC)
Germanium Lens Moved in Front
of IR Array
NUC is necessary to adjust for different pixel sensitivities which could cause erroneous targeting by seeker computer

Non-Uniformity Compensation (NUC)
Computer algorithm adjusts gain factors of individual pixels so that a uniform image results from a uniform scene

Scope of Design Constraints
• One quarter subjected to 10,000 G’s weighs
approximately 120 lbs.
• The restricted thickness of the available volume is less than ¼ of an inch
Raytheon Seekers 17
Design Philosophy
• K.I.S.S.- Minimize complexity of the design to reduce
probability of failure
• Keep close contact with client – Bring attention to potential design problems
before it’s too late
Raytheon Seekers 18
Design Process
• Brainstorming - Mechanism ideas
• Mechanism Selection - Based on size constraints
• Modeling - Cardboard & CAD models to assess geometries
• Analysis - Hand calculations, Adams, COSMOS/M
• Fabricate Prototype – CNC
Raytheon Seekers 19
Final Design
• Frame
• Solenoid
• Positioning Arm
• Pin
• Bushing
• Return Spring
Raytheon Seekers 21
Frame Design
• Frame supports components and other seeker optics– Modified to eliminate unnecessary weight – Recessed regions for return spring and
counterweight clearance
Frame Design
• Frame– 6061-T6 Aluminum
– Sult = 45 ksi
– CNC work done by R&D Specialty Manco– Phoenix, Arizona
Raytheon Seekers 23
Selected Solenoid
• 3 VDC pulling solenoid – Electro Mechanisms, Inc
– Commercially available PO-25
– Fits within required dimensions
– Provides minimum of 2 oz. of force at 3X nominal voltage (18 Watts)
Positioning Arm• Positioning Arm
– 7075-T6 Aluminum
– Sult = 82.7 ksi
• Pin– AISI 4130 Steel
– Sult = 106 ksi
• Bushing– Oilite Bronze - Oil
Impregnated
– Self Lubricating Bushing

Analysis Justification
• Deformation of surfaces are within tolerances defined by the optical engineer
• Deformation of support structure for optics is within tolerance and creates no interference– No yielding through cross section of part
• No ultimate failures occur
Raytheon Seekers 27
Analysis Focus
• Static Analysis– Pin joint withstands launch accelerations
– Arm deflection does not produce ultimate failure
• Dynamic Analysis– Solenoid and spring actuation times
– Verification of solenoid adequacy
Raytheon Seekers 28
Finite Element Analysis
• COSMOS/M – 3-D 20 Noded Quadrilateral Elements– Body (Acceleration) Load
• Modeled Positioning Arm & Components– 7075-T6 Al Arm– Germanium Lens– Oilite Brass Bushing– Tungsten Counterweight
• Material properties specified for each component
FEA Mesh

Does Not Yield Through Cross-Section
Raytheon Seekers 31
Dynamic Analysis
• Adams software used for dynamic analysis w.r.t. arm rotation
• Employed actual solenoid force function curve and spring force
• Analysis Performed:– Actuation & return times– Forces due to snubbing of
arm rotation– Verification of solenoid
strength sufficiency over entire actuation distance
Adams Simulation
Actuation time = 0.027 sec Spring Return = 0.028 sec
