Tactical Grade-Inertial Measurement Unit (TG-IMU)
Abstract
The TG-IMU project developed and demonstrated a millimeter-scale, tactical grade IMU providing a 1,000x reduction in volume and 10,000x reduction in power compared to existing IMUs. TG-IMU enables improved 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). TG-IMU transitioned to the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy for further development.
