Orbital Research Inc.

Precision Guidance Technologies

Orbital Research provides enabling sub-components to enhance the performance of weapons systems and air vehicles, slender body air vehicles such as low velocity grenades, mortars, artillery rounds, interceptors, and medium caliber rounds.      Our enabling sub-systems include inertial measurement units, guidance electronic units, imaging systems, target tracking technologies, control actuation systems, etc.


Control Actuation Systems (CAS)

Orbital Research is developing  a low-cost control actuation system (CAS) with accompanying guidance electronics to engage stationary and moving targets.  The Orbital Team has developed a CAS  that features four (4) independently controlled deployable  canards that enable roll control, ideal glide configuration, and terminal maneuvers.  Our CAS design allows for range extension through drag reduction and more efficient trim performance.


Guidance Electronics

The Orbital Research Team has leveraged the design experience of its mission computer/guidance electronic unit to develop a family of guidance technologies for spin and fin stabilized munitions ranging in size from 20mm to 250mm.  These guidance electronics are optimized with key design features that include electronic placement for both gun launch survivability and minimal component cross-talk.
