Affordable Vehicle Avionics (AVA): Novel Extended Kalman Filter to integrate sampled GPS position and velocity data with low-cost but inherently noisy, high-drift COTS inertial measurement unit (IMU)

Novel Extended Kalman Filter to integrate sampled GPS position and velocity data with low-cost but inherently noisy, high-drift COTS inertial measurement unit (IMU) real-time sensors for low cost GN&C during launcher ascent.

Novel Extended Kalman Filter integrates sampled GPS position and velocity data with low-cost but inherently noisy, high-drift COTS inertial measurement unit (IMU) real-time sensors for low cost GN&C during launcher ascent.

Enables very low-cost but high-performance nano-launch vehicles.

This is early/mid-stage (TRL 5) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
