Description
Guidance, Navigation and Control (GN & C) Avionics systems currently used in the BMDS interceptors are too expensive, bulky, and heavy. They provide limited bandwidth, power hungry, and are sensitive to shock, vibration, radiation and EMI. This SIL technical proposal will describe in detail an innovative reduced SWAP, high performance and low cost GPS L1/L2 Receiver and Silicon MEM IMU GN & C system in hardware and Kalman filter software. SIL proposes a new modular and stackable avionics technology that can be upgraded and maintain Space Qualification thus significantly reducing GN & C development and life cycle cost for MDA missiles.
