A system architecture is described to tightly integrate the avionic functions of navigation, guidance, autopilot, and data link into a powerful, modular, high-reliability, cost-efficient solution to the expanding mission requirements of guided weapons. The system combines the navigation and secure data link attributes of the joint tactical information distribution system (JTIDS); GPS (global positioning system); an innovative low cost inertial measurement unit (IMU); a low-cost, lightweight Doppler; and software which combines data from JTIDS, GPS, IMU, target tracker, altimeter, and true airspeed sensor, to optimize navigation, guidance, and autopilot avionic functions. The intent of the system architecture is to form a network of cooperating battle elements, rather than rely exclusively on onboard measurements, to improve the weapon system capability.
