Kaman Precision Products’ KD-5100 differential measurement system is designed to provide resolution to a nanometer of positional change and can be used for applications such as night vision systems, precision telescope positioning, fast steering mirrors (FSM) for space-based and airborne applications, and image stabilization systems. Featuring a small package size of 2 x 2.12 x 0.75-in., the KD-5100 is designed for applications where space is a limiting factor. The KD-5100 features rugged construction, with a mean time between failures of better than 238,000 hours in a space flight environment and 55,000 hours in a tactical environment. Kaman also offers the DIT-5200, a commercial version of the KD-5100 for applications where mil-spec requirements, size, weight, and power consumption are not critical.
