Description:

The ALS - sometimes referred to as a fin loader - is a general-purpose test instrument that can produce a wide range of rotary position motion, and/or active dynamic torque, to simulate loads that control surfaces experience during missile flight. Many customers use this equipment in conjunction with a multi-axis Flight Motion Simulator, to complete a hardware test suite for their guidance system article(s).
