Precise Robust Inertial Guidance for Munitions (PRIGM)
Abstract
The Precise Robust Inertial Guidance for Munitions (PRIGM) program developed inertial sensor technologies for positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) in GPS-denied environments. The program exploited advances in integrating photonic (light-manipulating) components into electronics and in employing microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) as high-performance inertial sensors for use in extreme environments. PRIGM focused on developing and transitioning a Navigation-Grade Inertial Measurement Unit (NGIMU), a state-of-the-art MEMS device, and advancing state-of-the-art MEMS gyros from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 3 devices to a TRL 6 transition platform. Service laboratories were actively involved throughout program development and remain engaged to facilitate transition of NGIMU prototypes, which will be delivered at the program conclusion.
