Honeywell Lands $25.6 Million Contract for Radiation-Hardened Gyroscope
Honeywell Aerospace has been awarded a contract worth $25.6 million by the US Air Force Research Laboratory to further develop its Compact Strategic Gyroscope (CSG) technology.
The CSG is designed for use in navigation systems that require high accuracy, such as those used in ballistic missile guidance and satellite pointing.
The new contract builds on earlier work with Honeywell, which was awarded $41.6 million by the Air Force Research Laboratory in early 2020 to design a compact strategic-grade gyroscope.
The previous project aimed to develop a radiation-hardened custom chip and software for the CSG, as well as test it on an experimental satellite in low Earth orbit.
