Relevant to mention MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) in this context, which use much older nm tech. Be it digital micro mirror devices¹ or gyros². Or photo/laser diodes. Given the physical limitations, as well as the problems we have with code base security it might be time to aim for cheaper production of something in the region of 180nm instead. Looking at how old much of the standard weaponry used today is (TOW 50 years with an actual physical gyroscope, Javelin still 25 years³), the demand from the military alone should cover the initial cost. Especially if you look at the ludicrous prices western countries payed for even dumb artillery shells. ¹ Texas Instruments DMD from a DLP projector from @AppliedScience https://youtu.be/9nb8mM3uEIc?t=428 https://youtu.be/9nb8mM3uEIc?t=428 ² Explanation of MPU-6050 from @BreakingTaps https://youtu.be/9X4frIQo7x0?t=664 https://youtu.be/9X4frIQo7x0?t=664 ³ Teardown of both from @lelabodemichel5162 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7-6hgX7-zQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7-6hgX7-zQ Sorry for late edits
