Honeywell MEMS inertial technology & product status

Honeywell has been engaged in the silicon micromachining technology since the late 1960's. MEMS-based pressure sensing systems are a significant element of Honeywell's Aerospace business. With the acquisition of the Draper Laboratory MEMS gyro and accelerometer, technology in 1999, Honeywell has reaffirmed its commitment to this game-changing technology. This paper describes the progress of Honeywell's MEMS inertial product development. The performance of IMU and INS/GPS products will be presented along with development and performance roadmaps.
