LP-80 IMU Program Status

Edward N. Jackson

Abstract:	Litton's Guidance and Controls Systems has developed a fourth generation LP 80 strapdown inertial measurement unit (IMU) that is currently in full scale development to meet the design objectives required for missiles, torpedoes, drones, and range instrumentation system applications. The LP-80 is completely self-contained and operates at all attitudes, providing digital processed outputs of angular rate and linear acceleration measured in the body axis frame. For range applications it will provide linear velocities with respect to a space stabilized coordinate frame. The paper is divided into four parts. The first part gives the development history while the last three describe the system design features, performance, and hardware status respectively.
