InterSense to research inertial sensors for Navy

Scientists at InterSense Inc. in Burlington, Mass., are working under a phase 1 Small Business Innovative Research contract from the U.S. Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division at Patuxent River Naval Air Station, Md., to research inertial sensors technology. Specifically, InterSense experts are continuing their research into the company`s new micro-miniature integrated inertial measurement unit called the InertiaCube, and their calibration and sensor-fusion algorithms. Company officials say they expect to make substantial advancements in inertial-sensing technology applied to small-scale motion-tracking systems, such as improved modeling, characterization, and calibration.
