Abstract
This paper describes the mechanical and control system upgrades performed on the IFLOTS trailer mounted optical tracking system. It will begin by briefly describing the original configuration of the mount and performing a 'before' FEA analysis of the pedestal structure. I will then outline the upgrades performed and discuss the net effect of the improvements on system performance.
