McLuckey, Rockwell senior vice president and president of the De- fense Systems business. "We are taking full advantage of this unique strength." Rockwell is com- bining the expertise in navigation sensor development and systems integration of the company's

Autonetics Electronic Systems

Division (AESD) in Anaheim, with the GPS expertise of the Collins

Avionics & Communications Divi- sion (CACD) of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

AESD will assume management responsibilities for all Integrated

INS/GPS products, including prod- uct development, marketing and sales of these products.

AESD will lead the INS/GPS activity with Rockwell's family of

MIGITS(TM) (Miniature Inte- grated GPS/INS Tactical Systems) products. Edward P. Barry Jr., vice president of Integrated INS/

GPS, will manage the activities.

MIGITS takes full advantage of advanced INS/GPS technologies through the use of a flexible modu- lar architecture. This allows a variety of INS and GPS "engines" to be integrated with a common core navigation processor module.

Together, they create Rockwell's low-cost, low-risk nondevelop- mental item, the MIGITS.

The C-MIGITS+ uses a com- mercial, five-channel GPS receiver integrated with a Digital Quartz

IMU. This C-MIGITS+ has been used on a number of unmanned aerial vehicles and similar tacti- cal-type programs.

A number of additional products are currently in development to meet specific commercial and tactical cus- tomer needs.

Rockwell Defense Electronics businesses cover a broad spectrum of capabilities in six addressed mar- kets: guidance and navigation; com- mand, control and communications; avionics, ship systems, tactical weap- ons; and sensors.

Rockwell is a diversified, high- technology company holding leader- ship market positions in automa- tion, avionics, telecommunications, defense electronics, aerospace, au- tomotive component systems and graphic systems, with annual world- wide sales of more $12 billion.

Peterson Builders Delivers Vessels

To NAVSEA

Peterson Builders, Inc. (PBI) delivered the seventh and eighth vessels of a contract by the Naval

Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) for the construction of ten 42-ft. (12.8-m) patrol craft coastals (PCCs). These aluminum hull patrol craft are powered by twin MTU diesel engines each driving a

Hamilton Jet waterjet. In addition to this contract, PBI has been contracted by NAVSEA to design and construct a 48-ft. (14.6-m) variant of the PCC. This craft will be similar in configuration with the exception of larger diesel engines and waterjets required for its higher operating speed.
