Survivable SWaP-C Optimized GN&C (S2GNC) Electronics Package for EM Railgun INP Program

The overall objective of this Navy SBIR program is to develop a high-integrity survivable Guidance, Navigation and Control (GN & C) electronics package that will meet the stringent navigation system performance requirements of the EM railgun INP program, fit within a small size, weight and power and cost (SWaP-C) budget, and is survivable under high g shock, high temperatures and electromagnetic fields envisaged for the EM railgun environment. The proposed Mayflower GNC package will be designed to meet the above Navy program objectives. In the Phase I feasibility study Mayflower will analyze the navigation and guidance accuracy of the integrated system in high g shock, high dynamics and high GPS jamming environment. The Phase I study will also evaluate the packaging concept for survivability and develop a system design approach that can be implemented in prototype hardware in Phase II. The Phase II prototype GNC system will be tested and its performance characterized at NAVSEA.
