The PIGA was based on an accelerometer developed by Dr. Fritz Mueller, then of the Kreiselgeraete Company, for the LEV-3 and experimental SG-66 guidance system of the Nazi era German V2 (EMW A4) ballistic missile and was known among the German rocket scientists as the MMIA "Mueller Mechanical Integrating Accelerometer". This system used ...

an accelerometer, [3] a real time clock or timer to start/stop the actigraph recording at specific times, and to record accumulate values for a specific time frame, a non-volatile memory to store the resulting values, an optional low-pass filter which filters out everything except the 2–3 Hz band, thereby ensuring external vibrations are ...
