The UNCUN1 uses a GPS receiver, coremicro IMU, as well as a processor module with embedded software. It provides interfaces to facilitate input/output to a PC for demonstration display. The connection to a PC permits the display of position time histories for information, study and general education purposes. It combines AGNC's MEMS IMU and possibly the robust complementary service of DGPS corrections from the FAA WAAS DGPS systems to provide unprecedented accuracy performance for a wide variety of precise navigation and positioning applications.
