g hardened sensors?

[rerun]

All,

I am sort of new to this site so please excuse any
unintentional mistakes. I am looking for g-hardened
sensors (able to withstand 5k-15k gs). A magnetometer
is important (for determining orientation) and
accelerometers and gyros. These devices should be
pretty small (and hopefully high bandwidth).
If anybody can point me to resources, I'd really
appreciate it.

Thanks...

Did you really mean 5,000 to 15,000 G?

Is that about twice a artillery round's acceleration?

Launch loads (as far as I know) for an artillery
round can get into the 1,000s and 10,000s of Gs. I'm
not really looking for something which can measure
that type of acceleration, but sensors which are
able to survive that type of acceleration for a
short amount of time. The readings will probably
saturate and then go back to normal G levels when
the system has stabilized.

Thanks for the lead for the accelerometer.
Analog devices does not have magnetometers
as far I can tell. Would you have some ideas
about an orientation sensor (relative to Earth)?
