Draper's Inertial Measurement capability enables guidance, navigation and control (GN&C) systems and instruments that do not rely on any external references for navigation. For high accuracy in harsh environments, Draper's inertial design and development work includes the strapdown and gimballed systems used in land, sea, air and space systems. Draper designs instruments and sensors in a variety of technologies—mechanical, optical and micro-optical, MEMS, atom-based—to meet customers' performance, cost and size goals across a wide range of environments for applications ranging from strategic military platforms to squad-level systems to commercial systems.

Take a Test Drive on the Moon
As NASA prepares to send astronauts back to the moon with new rovers, the engineers supporting them will need a similar system to practice driving on the lunar surface. So Draper built one.
