ABSTRACT:
An azimuth drive for a radar array comprises at least one circular track mounted to a wheel on which the radar array is mounted. A motor is coupled to the at least one circular track and capable of moving along the track in the tangential direction, to relocate the center of mass of the wheel on which the radar array is mounted.
