Fiber-laser-based Mobile Atomic Sensor (FIMAS)
SBC: AOSENSE, INC. Topic: AF20AT002Environmental structures of interest like mountains, tunnels, and deposits of minerals, oil or gas produce distortions in the local gravitational field. Sensing gravity anomalies and comparing them to a gravity map can provide positioning immune to the drift of purely inertial navigation systems. Existing gradiometers with sufficient sensitivity are large and heavy, requiring manned aircraft and h ...

Innovative Hybrid Atomic-Optical Ultra-Precise Inertial Sensing for Space Applications
SBC: INTELLIGENT FIBER OPTIC SYSTEMS CORP Topic: AF20AT002Space is the ultimate GPS-denied environment and requires novel approaches to precision navigation. Open-loop fiber-optic gyroscopes (FOG) enable large bandwidth and dynamic range with low noise. Emerging atom interferometric gyros (AIG) provide extremely high long-term stability and accuracy, but have limited bandwidth due to minimum required atom interaction durations. Combining these two techno ...
