Precise Robust Inertial Guidance for Munitions: Advanced Inertial Micro Sensors (PRIGM:AIMS): The DARPA Microsystems Technology Office is soliciting research proposals in the development of novel technologies for high-performance miniature inertial sensors. The PRIGM:AIMS program will address the challenge of precise navigation of guided munitions in the absence of external navigation aids, such as GPS. This BAA is particularly interested in inertial sensors that enable precision navigation of gun-launched spin-stabilized munitions, as well as the navigation of highly dynamic, long-range munitions. PRIGM:AIMS will investigate and demonstrate new sensing modalities for low-Cost, Size, Weight and Power (CSWaP) inertial sensors including, but not limited to: rate-integrating gyroscopes, integrated photonic waveguide optical gyroscopes, and optically-interrogated MEMS gyroscopes and accelerometers.
