Guided Training Round

CoAspire will integrate a GPS-aided INS/IMU to the flight-cleared BDU-59B/B Laser Guided Training Round to rapidly provide an affordable, Guided Training RoundTM (GTR) for Department of the Navy (DoN), U.S. Air Force (USAF), USSOCOM, international 4th and 5th generation fighter aircraft, and UAVs. The GTR software and hardware guidance package, protected under SBIR data rights, will replicate the performance of current Dual-Mode (GPS/INS and Semi-Active-Laser) guided weapons, at a fraction of the cost. This Phase II technical activity will incorporate Digital Engineering and Weapons Open Systems Architecture principles to provide Semi-Active Laser (SAL), and GPS-guided training munition components. Technical activities in this proposed Phase II SBIR will focus on developing hardware and software to demonstrate GTR’s effectiveness to meet DoN and USAF requirements in a series of demonstrations. CoAspire will deliver a Technical Data Package to the DoN and position the program for future integration and flight test.
