Position, Navigation, and Timing

Recent advances in MEMS-based technology offer the promise of rapidly measuring azimuth with high accuracy and in a small, ruggedized form factor. The desired application for this technology is the orientation of weapons platforms (e.g., mortar systems), radar system configuration. The technology should also be suitable as a and-alone navigation aid for soldiers in austere environments. The technology should offer the capability to provide the measured heading to the user or to a host system in which the technology is embedded.
