Navigation & Research Development Center
The Applied Research Laboratory at Penn State conducts navigation research, development, tests, and evaluations for new technology navigation sensors and systems for application in air, marine, and land vehicles at its Navigation Research and Development Center (NRDC) located in Warminster, PA.
Product areas include gyroscopes, accelerometers, gravimeters, gradiometers, speed sensors, inertial navigators, geophysical navigation, radio and satellite navigation systems, celestial navigation systems, and integrated navigation systems.
The NRDC has over 40 years of navigation research and development experience related to ship, submarine, aircraft, and land vehicle applications. Our products span the range of navigation equipment from conventional mechanical navigation sensors to new technology solid-state sensors (i.e., ring laser, fiber optics, micro-machined), gimballed and strapdown inertial navigators, satellite and radio navigation systems, celestial navigation systems, and integrated navigation system.
