Northrop Grumman to Continue Development of GPS-free Inertial Navigation System

摘要

Northrop Grumman Corp. has received a contract modification from the US Department of Defense to further demonstrate a revolutionary advance in inertial navigation. The demonstration project makes use of traditional electro-optic (EO) cameras, atomic clocks, and advanced vi-rnsion processing technologies to provide inertial navigation system (INS) updates to aircraft, ground vehicles and ground troops without the need for continuous Global Positioning System (GPS) input to maintain precise position and time.
