DARPA to develop microscale navigational gyro for guided munitions and handheld devices

摘要

Navigation and guidance experts at the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in Arlington, Va., are asking industry to develop a miniature gyroscope for precision-guided munitions, ships, vehicles, aircraft, and even individual combatants.rnDARPA issued a broad agency announcement (DARPA-BAA-10-39) for the three-year Microscale Rate Integrating Gyroscope (MRIG) program, which seeks to develop a microscale vibrating structure gyroscope to measure rotation over a wide range of dynamic conditions.
