Yokes and Inceptors – Drive By-Wire Vehicle Controls

Bokam offers a unique drive by wire yoke and steering system range of products. The devices are based on a wide range of solid-state and optical sensors multi-channel drive by wire control interface. All devices are programmable and offer multiple channels of redundancy per axis. Azimuth only and Azimuth/Elevation controls are available for one and two-axis vehicle and turret controls. The yokes come in a wide range of user feedback configurations that include mechanical and dampened return to zero options or motorized return to zero options that have system feedback and external control capabilities. The yokes and Inceptors can also be provided as part of the mounted/dismounted system that can work with a Bokam provided Universal OCU to allow for the control of the vehicle from within the vehicle and from a dismounted position.
