In plain English

DARPA is seeking research proposals for new inertial measurement unit sensor designs for tactical and unmanned missions. The work should combine unconventional sensor physics with real-time adaptive controls to improve inertial navigation beyond current MEMS performance. Examples include levitated proof masses, nonlinear resonators, and tethered microsystems; incremental improvements to existing technology are excluded.

About this opportunity

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals in the following technical area: physics and nonlinear control of inertial measurement units (IMUs) appropriate for tactical and unmanned missions. The Precision Inertial Navigation & Positioning On an Integrated Tesseract (PINPOINT) program will challenge the research community to overcome the decade-long performance plateau of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) IMUs by exploring revolutionary sensor architectures that operate in highly nonlinear regimes. DARPA is soliciting proposals for the research and development of novel inertial sensors based on physics such as, but not limited to,…
