Integrated Guidance Systems Selected by Textron Systems and Draper Laboratories to Provide Navigation and Global Positioning System

MINNEAPOLIS (April 22, 2008) - Integrated Guidance Systems LLC, a joint venture between Honeywell International and Rockwell Collins, has been selected to supply its IGS-200 navigator as the Flight Control System for the Textron Defense Systems Universal Aerial Delivery Dispenser (U-ADD). Draper Laboratory, as the design agent for the U-ADD flight control system, selected the IGS-200 based on a mixture of maturity, performance and cost factors.

U-ADD is a lightweight, precision guided multi-mission dispenser designed to deliver various lethal, non-lethal and cargo payloads.

“The IGS family of products can operate in a wide range of environments and features customizable mission software adaptable to many mission profiles, including precision airdrop scenarios,” said Bob Whitcraft, vice president, sales and marketing, for IGS LLC.  “The U-ADD can deliver multiple types of payloads; it simply needs a guidance system that can be easily tailored for the mission.”

IGS LLC provides new guidance offerings made possible through the combination of Rockwell Collins' military GPS receiver technology and Honeywell's Micro Electronic Mechanical Systems (MEMS) Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) and navigation processing technologies. Benefiting from a highly-integrated physical architecture and tightly-coupled GPS-IMU signal processing techniques, these technologies increase navigation accuracy in GPS jammed or denied environments.

"The IGS-200 offers Textron Systems the best solution to meet our overall program objectives,” said Tom McNamara, senior vice president of the advanced solutions center at Textron Systems.  “Using this revolutionary and affordable guidance technology allows us to successfully facilitate the transition of previous government investments."
