1.1.1 Power
All turret system components operate on +28 VDC that is supplied from the aircraft. The turret is wired into the
aircraft power feed and routes +28 VDC power to the Hand Controller and +5 VDC to the GPS antenna. The
POWER switch on the Hand Controller both applies and removes power to the turret.
