KVH Introduces TACNAV 3D Inertial Navigation System with Embedded GPS/GNSS
June 16 2014 - 12:01AM
KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq:KVHI) is introducing TACNAV® 3D, a
highly accurate inertial navigation system designed for battlefield
vehicles, today at Eurosatory 2014, an international defense and
security industry trade show in Paris, France. The TACNAV 3D system
is the latest product in KVH's TACNAV line of tactical navigation
systems, and will be on display in the KVH booth (Stand J531, Hall
6) at Eurosatory through June 20th.
The fiber optic gyro-based TACNAV 3D inertial navigation system
provides full three-dimensional navigation and an embedded GNSS.
Its modular tactical design and flexible architecture allow it to
function as either a standalone inertial navigation solution or as
the core of an expandable, multi-functional battlefield management
system. It is designed to provide navigation for light armored
vehicles, both wheeled and tracked, medium and heavy combat
vehicles, and main battle tanks.
The TACNAV 3D system is fitted with an Iridium® transceiver to
transmit and receive vehicle position, waypoint, and target
location to or from a command center or other vehicles, and can
receive messages from the battlefield management system to pass on
to the command center via the Iridium short duration burst message
function. TACNAV 3D can also receive and transmit Ethernet and
CANbus signals, and RS-422.
"For military vehicles operating on the modern digital
battlefield, this completely modular package is a vital component
for effective battlefield management," says Dan Conway, KVH
executive vice president for Guidance & Stabilization sales.
"It is affordable, lightweight, and easy to integrate with any
number of existing vehicles, both turreted and non-turreted. With a
built-in communications option, TACNAV 3D is designed for short
duration burst messaging, which can make a life or death difference
to a soldier."
TACNAV 3D builds upon the success of KVH's TACNAV family of
products, and incorporates the 1750 IMU, which combines 3 axes of
KVH's compact high accuracy DSP-1750 fiber optic gyro (FOG), with 3
axes of high performance MEMS accelerometers. The TACNAV 3D system
is designed to provide extremely accurate heading, dead reckoning,
navigation, orientation, and 100% situational awareness in
GNSS-denied environments.
