Tactical Grade-Inertial Measurement Unit (TG-IMU)
Abstract
The TG-IMU project developed and demonstrated a millimeter-scale, tactical grade IMU providing a 1,000 times reduction in volume and 10,000 times reduction in power compared to existing IMUs. The TG-IMU enables improved navigation in GPS-contested environments for small caliber munitions such as the Army Precision Guidance Kit–Anti-Jam (PGK-AJ), XM1155, and Excalibur HTK. In FY 2021, the project successfully demonstrated a low power ASIC and a six degree of freedom microelectromechanical system (MEMS) chip operating together to provide near tactical grade inertial performance. The Tactical Grade IMU project transitioned to the U.S. Army for further development and integration into their selected platforms.
