Palm-Sized Navigation Tech Targets GPS-Contested Battlefields

A new inertial measurement unit (IMU) from HRL Laboratories promises precise navigation for defense and aerospace systems in a palm-sized package.

The “AXI-R100” system is built to extend navigation accuracy in GPS-contested conditions, with the company claiming it outperforms comparable sensor technologies on the market.

Using silicon micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology, the IMU reportedly delivers tactical-grade performance while remaining compact enough for high-volume production.
