Precision Inertial Navigation & Positioning On an Integrated Tesseract (PINPOINT)
Funds new physics for inertial sensors built to break a decade-long precision plateau.
About
Every drone, missile and vehicle that has to know where it is without GPS leans on an inertial measurement unit, and the small, cheap version of that sensor — MEMS-based — has not gotten meaningfully better in a decade. PINPOINT exists to break that plateau rather than refine around it.
The physics on offer is deliberately unconventional: electromagnetically levitated proof masses, non-linear res…
