OpportunityTitle: Single Chip Timing and Inertial Measurement Unit (TIMU)
Description: Amendment 2a: The purpose of this Amendment is to make an administrative change within the system which will make available the application package. Amendment 02: The purpose of this amendment is to revise the Full Proposal Due Date as highlighted in yellow in the attached revised DARPA-BAA-11-10 document. Amendment 01: The purpose of this amendment is to revise the Abstract Due Date as highlighted in yellow in the attached revised DARPA-BAA-11-10 document.Original Synopsis below. The TIMU program seeks to address a range of key challenges and potential benefits associated with development of microscale components enabling advanced precision navigation, guidance, and control capabilities critical to the performance of many military systems. In particular, this program will focus on technical issues pertinent to the contemplated development of a single-chip, self-contained system that provides precise timing, location, and orientation information. The primary goal of this program is to address challenges associated with the development of a miniature (10 mm3 in volume), lowpower (&lt;200 mW), high-performance (Circular Error Probable (CEP) &lt;1 nmi/hour), and self-sufficient navigation system that might be realized through innovative manufacturing and advanced architectures integrating Timing and Inertial Measurement Units (TIMU).See the attached full DARPA-BAA-11-10 document attached.
