1. AMCOM MK66 guidance module
Assessment and progress made

2. New progress
Acquisition of Garmin etrex Legend portable GPS with RS-232 interface for simulation purposes
Allows for creation of accurate GPS position information simulation model

3. New Progress (cont’d)
Thermal/Lithium battery manufacturer specifications and power profiles (EaglePicher)
Initial design phase of power transitioning system (Bus power to thermal/Lithium battery)
Detailed specifications on new IMU
Confirmation of interface specifications

4. Altera Initial system interfacing and soft-core setup
Physical interaction schematics
EECE 277 project integration

5. Desired outcome Mechanically functional model
