The purpose of t h i s manual i s t o f i l l the need f o r a single source

of descriptive information concerning the Eclipse-Pioneer ST-120 Stabilized

Platform, The level of presentation i s that of an introductory familiari-

zation leading t o a basic understanding of the operation of the platform,

i ts function a s the heart of the Pershing Guidance System, and i ts relat ion-

ship t o other parts of the system.

More detailed information i s available i n the Eclipse-Pioneer

manuals and publications l i s t e d i n the bibliography* Many of them served

as technical references fo r t h i s work,

In addition, the authors are indebted t o Messrs* F, Hanusek,

L. Alperwitz, G o Jeffy, Fo W, Meyer, R. A, Taylor and numerous other Eclipse-

Pioneer personnel for t h e i r valuable contributions of information, con-

struct ive criticism, and c l e r i c a l assistance during the preparation of t h i s

The ST-120 Platform coordinate system consists of t h e e mutually

perpendicular axes passing %hrough the center of gimbal f~eedom about

which the platform ca r r i e r r ing is Sgned and stabil ized (Figure 5 ) ,

The Z, axis is pa ra l l e l t o the bottom surface of the ca r r i e r r i n g

ident ica l mierosyns are i r ~ c o ~ o ~ a t e d i n the ST-120 Stabilized Platform

gimballing system, designated $@Yaw MicrospH and itRoll Microsynn, These

microsyns sense a t t i tude deviations of the missile frame re la t ive t o the

platform, acting as er ror detectors i n the yaw and r o l l servo loops. A

block diagram representing a se loop is shown in (Figure 1 2 ) a

When the missil turns about the yaw axis, the yaw microsyn pro-

duces an error s i a9 voltage having an amplitude proportional t o the

amount of yaw, and a phase correspornding t o the direction of yaw, This

er ror signal is fed in to the control computer which commands missile
