AZ/EL/ROLL / Null Seeker Positioner

The Null Seeker Positioner is used in development and production testing to emulate flight movement of a device encasing null-seeker sensors. Its high motion dynamics and ultra-precise angular positioning, rates, and acceleration allow for accurate evaluations of null seeker technology (ie. RF signal nulls transmitted from directive antennas).
