Under DARPA sponsorship, NOSC has made a dual contract award for advanced development brassboard models of a Global Positioning System Guidance Package (GGP). The approximate $28 million in contracts were awarded to the contractor teams of Texas Instrument Honeywell and Litton Systems Rockwell Collins. The existing 48 month (GGP Phase 1) contracts provide for the advanced development of a strapdown inertial guidance package comprised of a navigation grade Interferrometric Fiberoptic Gyro (IFOG) tightly coupled to a miniaturized GPS receiver (MGR). The goal is to produce a combined GPS/IMU navigation grade system which will be miniaturized for easy insertion into any host vehicle, and inexpensive for use by expendable vehicles (weapons and platforms). Follow-on Phase 2 contracts will develop preproduction prototype GGP units tailored for specific platforms.
