Gyro-stabilised Talon platform

Paradigm SRP has introduced the gyro-stabilised TALON platform system by which a soldier can obtain precise accuracy from any helicopter, watercraft, or vehicle, using rifle and scope.

This pinpoint precision is achieved by incorporating state of the art mil-spec gyros, high speed servos, and advanced circuitry into a precision machined two axis turret. Paradigm MEMS gyros send out digital attitude data to the high speed servo motors via a custom engineered and programmed circuit board. This allows stabilisation correction solutions to be made thousands of times per second.

The TALON is easily transported by a single operator. Installation of the TALON is rapidly performed by securing it with any type of cargo straps. Quick Disconnect (QD) mounts handle any Picatiny rail equipped rifle making attaching/detaching your weapon system lightning fast. The TALON mount allows the shooter to stay on target, even at full optic magnification, from a helicopter or any other moving vehicle.

The marksman/sniper-specific gyroscopic weapons mount called the Talon Gyro-Stabilized Marksman Platform/Universal Weapons Mount (GSMP/UWM), allows a marksman or sniper to engage the enemy with precise shots on the move, even at high speed.

The Talon GSMP’s features include: Quick-detach (QD) mounting system; HD wide-angle camera; HD reticle camera that mounts to the scope; Proprietary remote trigger activation device; Hand Controller with HD monitor providing scope view, wide-angle view and picture-in-picture capability; Fire control system (viewable on handheld monitor); Weapon control system (on monitor); 2,000-metre (2000M) laser range finder; Adjusted ranging provides shooting solutions for angular shooting; Brass catcher for airborne applications and 54 lbs weight.
