Alliant TechSystems uses Rockwell Collins’ GPS receiver in BTERM demonstration

Alliant TechSystems (ATK) logged a suc cessful test flight of a Ballistic Trajectory Extended Range Munition (BTERM) projectile, with the help of a global positioning system unit from Rockwell Collins in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

The BTERM demonstration involved the short-range flight of a BTERM-guided projectile, which traveled more than eight miles and landed roughly two meters shy of its target.

Rockwell Collins’ GPS is based on the company’s selective availability anti-spoofing module (SAASM), designed to offer low power consumption and a form factor small enough to fit inside a standard NATO fuze. The SAASM tamper-resistant multi-chip security module combines with additional hardware and software solutions to form the complete GPS receiver.

“Our investment in SAASM-based GPS units has paid off in providing reductions in size, weight, power, and cost for our military customers,” says Ron Hornish, vice president of Sensor Systems for Rockwell Collins. “SAASM-based GPS enables the U.S. Navy to use fewer munitions that cause less collateral damage; plus, it provides the Navy the option to reduce its logistics supplies in the field due to using fewer rounds per target.” For more information, visit www.rockwellcollins.com.
