Low-Cost, Highly Accurate Fiber Optic Gyro-based Navigation for all Terrains – Featuring PIC Technology

The fiber optic gyro (FOG)-based TACNAV® IIc tactical Inertial Navigation System provides a solution with an embedded GNSS. Its modular tactical design and flexible architecture allow it to function as either a standalone tactical navigation solution, or as the core of an expandable, multi-functional Battlefield Management System (BMS).

TACNAV IIc joins the line-up of EMCORE’s inertial navigation systems and builds upon the success of the battle-proven EMCORE TACNAV family of products, and incorporates EMCORE’s high-performance, single-axis DSP-3000 FOG.

Ideal Navigation and Pointing Solution for the Digital Battlefield

Providing low-cost accurate heading and dead reckoning navigation and orientation, TACNAV IIc delivers 100% situational awareness in GNSS-denied environments with greater accuracy and at a lower cost than competing navigation systems.

  • Easily integrates with BMS to provides reliable vehicle position
  • Compact and lightweight
  • Designed for the close confines of turreted and non-turreted vehicles

The TACNAV IIc is controlled by the Arms Export Control Act (Title 22, USC Sec 2751 et seq.) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, ITAR, 22 CFR 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.

Features
