IMU/GPS Accuracy Enhancements for GMD

This Phase I effort will develop a design solution that adds a GPS receiver to an IMU for the GBI EKV. This new Integrated Inertial Navigation Unit must put gyros, accelerometers, electronics, EKV interfaces, processing, GPS and GPS antennae interfaces in the volume and footprint currently occupied by the first four items alone. The GH Systems team, with Honeywell as our subcontractor, will evaluate multiple design alternatives and refine a unique design solution for implementation in Phase II. The GH Systems team will leverage its knowledge of the EKV system and its history of designing and delivering inertial systems for missile defense interceptors to design a solution that meets or exceeds the stated GBI EKV requirements.
