Auburn AL - Archangel Systems, Inc. announced today that it has been awarded a Phase I Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contract to study a Fuzzy Integrated Navigation System (FINS) consisting of a GPS, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and Magnetic Sensing Unit (MSU).  In addition to the traditional Inertial Navigation System composed of a tightly coupled GPS-IMU, a tightly coupled MSU-IMU is added along with Fuzzy Logic Adaptive Signal Processing (FLASP) to process and blend all information.  This will create a more robust system which can sustain high positional accuracies even in the face of GPS outages or spoofing. Commercial applications where Inertial Navigation Systems are used can also benefit from the application of this technology.

Archangel Systems, Inc. is a private, closely held Alabama Corporation, headquartered in Auburn, Alabama. Formed in 1992, the company specializes in Inertial Sensing Systems & Solutions for Aerospace, Automotive, and Military Applications and Power Electronics for Military and Space applications. Areas of expertise include power conversion and management, sensor development, hardware & software development, as well as FAA certification of both hardware & software to the highest levels of criticality.
