In this application, the state-of- the-art motion control system uses hydraulically actuated interceptors fitted aft to provide motion damping as well as control of running trim. The interceptors are controlled by commands from a cen- tral unit which receives motion data from an array of onboard sensors, com- putes the required damping forces, and then issues the command signals.
