Precision Measurement Technology for Contested Environments

Abstract

This effort will develop technologies that will enable precise and assured PNT in GPS-denied environments for up to 1 hour. This research will improve the accuracy while also focusing on size, weight, power, cost (SWAP-C) of current micro-Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) through the design, fabrication, and testing of novel micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) sensor designs and materials and the integration of multiple sensor modalities with the IMUs using sensor fusion and perception techniques to reduce drift and increase positional accuracy. Research will also include the ability to transmit jam-resistant precision position, navigation, and timing signals via electro-optical and/or RF transmission methods.
