Micro-Electrostatic Gyro (MESG). MESG Second Source Development Program.

Abstract

The objective of the MESG Program was to develop a competent second source for the fabrication of MESG rotor and cavity sets. This was required in order to protect the Government's investment by insuring that the drawings, procedures, and techniques developed by the prime contractor (Autonetics Group, Rockwell International-AGRI) were correct, and to prevent AGRI from obtaining a sole source advantage. PPD's major function in the program was to demonstrate to the Air Force that PPD could produce MESG rotor and cavity sets with equal proficiency as AGRI.
