Video description: 

This video demonstrates the performance and capabilities of a developed vibration isolation platform developed to enable the mobile operation of optical drone detection and tracking systems. It shows the automated, vibration-isolated tracking of a small drone using a telescope system mounted to a vehicle driving on a dirt road at 40 km/h. The video includes the view through the optical system (top right), a view of the road ahead (bottom right), a close-up perspective of the stabilized platform with reference to the top of the vehicle (bottom left) and a view of the optical system including its motorized mount (top left).
