The rotation of the rotary device in the lifting mechanism of the target is carried out by one or two linear drives mounted on the platform and acting on two levers of the rotary device, while the synchronization of their work is carried out by an electronic-mechanical device for compensating the difference in linear speeds.

Linear drives provide raising / lowering of the target in the range of 0-90 ° from the horizontal and swing of the target in the range of ± 45 ° from the vertical.
