TACNAV Tactical Navigation
®
Assured Position, Navigation and Timing (A-PNT) demands resilient inertial-based navigation and the battle-
proven, unjammable family of TACNAV systems from EMCORE. TACNAV inertial tactical navigation systems
®
are solutions deployed by the U.S. Army and militaries around the world for battlefield navigation of a wide
variety of mililtary ground vehicles. As militaries demand assured A-PNT solutions independent of satellite
data, they look to TACNAV for accurate navigation with and without GNSS.
TACNAV Light/GPS
®
Maintaining 100% situational awareness is vital to all military crews. Designed specifically to meet the requirements
of light military vehicles, EMCORE’s TACNAV Light/GPS delivers a powerful suite of features that brings a new level of
®
flexibility, reliability, and performance to light vehicle navigation. With EMCORE’s Moving Map Display (MMD) and the
Universal Multilingual Display (UMD), the TACNAV Light/GPS offers:
n The ability to create and store waypoints and routes, and view vehicle travel in real time
n Intuitive easy-to-read displays of heading, position, distance, and direction to waypoint
n Easy use thanks to the touchscreen MMD screen
Features/Benefits
n Compass-based system with embedded GPS
n Heading 2.5° RMS
n Positioning accuracy within 5 meters CEP with valid GPS
n Without GPS, positioning accuracy 2-3% distance traveled
n Commander’s MMD for route, waypoint entry
n Driver’s UMD with steer-to functionality

TACNAV 3D - NOW with PIC Technology
®
The FOG-based TACNAV 3D tactical inertial navigation system provides an assured posi-
tion, navigation, and timing system with an embedded GNSS and optional Chip-Scale
Atomic Clock (CSAC). TACNAV 3D also has EMCORE’s new exclusive Photonic integrated
Chip (PIC) technology, which delivers even more reliability while maintaining or improving
accuracy and performance. TACNAV 3D’s modular tactical design means it functions as a
standalone inertial navigation solution, and as the core of an A-PNT-capable multi-func-
tional battlefield management system.
Features/Benefits
n High-performing EMCORE IMU for reliable 100% situational awareness even
when GPS/GNSS is unavailable
n Extremely accurate heading, dead reckoning navigation, and orientation at a
lower cost than competing systems
n E1 Pulse Per Second (PPS) timing assurance during loss of GPS/GNSS
n Full 3D navigation provides dynamic heading/pitch and roll, and altitude/dis-
tance and bearing to waypoint
n Designed for easy integration with Battlefield Management Systems (BMS),
®
including the optional two-way Iridium satellite communications for short
duration burst messaging
n Receives and transmits both Ethernet and CANbus signals, and RS-422
n Horizontal and vertical positional accuracy even when GPS/GNSS is blocked, TACNAV products are controlled by the Arms Export
jammed, or unavailable Control Act (Title 22, USC Sec 2751 et seq.) and the
International Traffic in Arms Regulations, ITAR, 22 CFR
n Inertial sensors not reliant on compass heading 120-130, and may not be exported from the United
States or disclosed to a foreign person in the United
States except as authorized by those regulations.
