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. These inertial sensors can provide autonomous PNT information when GPS is unavailable. PRIGM developed and plans to transition a Navigation-Grade Inertial Measurement Unit (NGIMU), a state-of-the-art Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) device, to DoD platforms in 2022. These advances should enable navigation applications, such as smart munitions, that require low-cost, size, weight, and power inertial sensors with high bandwidth, precision, and shock tolerance. PRIGM advanced state-of-the-art MEMS gyros from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 3 devices to a TRL 6 transition platform. Advanced technology development for the program is budgeted in PE 0603739E, Project MT-15.
