Abstract	Design and development of low cost miniaturized guidance systems requires specialized engineering skills that are realized through practical design experience supported by continual testing, data gathering and analyses. The engineering disciplines required to develop these systems include technical expertise in electronics, aerodynamics, mechanical, chemical, and software engineering, as well as specific skills in embedded digital signal processing, software modeling, and hardware-in-the loop simulation. In this presentation, examples of current Army and Navy prototype guidance systems used in projectile fuzes are discussed, along with rocket/missile system applications. In order to monitor the performance of these guidance systems during flight or firing tests, on-board data recording and telemetry subsystems are also required. In general, these data extraction subsystems are equally as challenging to develop as the primary guidance system, since the overall guidance function must operate normally as if the recording or telemetry system is not present. Examples of these specific test data extraction subsystems are also presented.
