From Colibrys
MEMS accelerometers are precise
even in harsh environment. One
of the best example of utilization of
the MEMS sensor technology in a very
rugged defence environment is the
M982 Excalibur, a 155mm extended
range guided artillery shell, developed
by United States based Raytheon
Missile Systems and BAE Systems
Bofors, a Swedish defence company
and a subsidiary of BAE Systems Land
and Armaments. This product includes
a inertial control system with the goal
to increase accuracy and to minimize
collateral damages and to improve the
efficiency when complex terrain limits the
effectiveness of conventional projectiles
and makes it difficult in term of logistic
and supply. A major challenge for the
control system is the inertial sensor that
has to operate at full accuracy even after
the extremely harsh launch environment.
