  • Electro-optical infrared (EOIR) sensor interface and processing on a programmable real time unit (PRU)
    Patent number: 12253341
    Abstract: A guidance system for a guided munition has an inertial measurement unit (IMU) or another type of first sensor on the guided munition, electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor on the guided munition, and a guidance computer assembly (GCA) having a Programmable Real-Time Unit Industrial Communication SubSystem (PRU-ICSS), wherein the PRU-ICSS is in operative communication with the IMU or another type of first sensor and the EO/IR. The PRU-ICSS has a first Programmable Real-Time Unit (PRU), wherein the first PRU is programmed to receive and process input data from the IMU or another type of first sensor on the guided munition, and the PRU-ICSS has a second PRU, wherein the second PRU is programmed to receive and process input data from the EO/IR sensor on the guided munition.
