Tactical Grade Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)

Abstract

Tactical Grade IMU develops a single chip, millimeter-scale, tactical grade IMU with a total power requirement of <150 µW and capability of surviving in a >20,000 g shock environment. This represents a 1,000x reduction in volume and 10,000x reduction in power, and enables IMU guidance on small caliber munitions. A mm-scale tactical grade IMU would improve navigation in GPS-contested environments for small caliber munitions such as the Army Precision Guidance Kit–Anti-Jam (PGK-AJ), XM1155, and Excalibur HTK, along with the Navy Moving Target Artillery Round (MTAR).
