| Abstract: |
CDI is proposing an tactical OIRU design based on a modified production IMU combined with our LOS/INS module. The combination of production hardware tailored to the OIRU tactical vibration environment provides a competitive OIRU design on a $/rejected jitter basis. |
| Benefits: |
The anticipated benefit to the Navy is that CDI's tactical OIRU will enable precision pointing and micro-radian stabilization using IMU technology currently in production. This will provide a near term OIRU that will perform reliably in the most severe tactical base motion environments. The implementation of a OIRU and a integrated INS eliminates the need for an external GPS/INS reducing beam director implementation costs substantially. |
