KVH Introduces Affordable and Highly Reliable Navigation Solution for Light Military Vehicles
19 February 2017 - 4:15PM
KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq:KVHI), is introducing the TACNAV
Light/GPS navigation solution today, at the International Defence
Exhibition and Conference (IDEX), in Abu Dhabi, United Arab
Emirates. Based on KVH’s successful line of tactical navigation
systems, TACNAV Light/GPS features a newly designed sensor mast
with embedded GPS, and utilizes KVH’s new TACNAV Moving Map Display
(MMD) and its proven Universal Multilingual Display (UMD).
TACNAV Light/GPS is designed specifically to meet the
requirements of light military vehicles used for such functions as
troop transport and reconnaissance, where 100% situational
awareness is vital. The system provides positioning accuracy within
5 meters CEP with valid GPS, and a dead reckon accuracy of 2-3%
distance travelled without GPS.
“The TACNAV Light/GPS is an affordable and reliable navigation
solution for a wide range of military vehicles today,” says Dan
Conway, executive vice president of KVH’s guidance and
stabilization group. “It’s particularly useful to have two displays
– the MMD with the user-friendly touchscreen for the commander, and
the UMD for the driver – providing essential information to keep
vehicles on track and soldiers safe.” The new MMD delivers
real-time tactical moving map technology that enables the vehicle’s
commander to view vehicle travel; the commander can also create,
store, and activate waypoints by utilizing the touchscreen. The
vehicle driver relies on KVH’s proven multilingual display, the
UMD, for steer-to functionality. KVH’s TACNAV product line is
currently in use by the U.S. Army and Marine Corps, as well as many
allied militaries, including Saudi Arabia, Canada, Great Britain,
France, Germany, Sweden, Spain, Egypt, Botswana, Australia, New
Zealand, Taiwan, Romania, Poland, Turkey, Malaysia, Switzerland,
South Korea, Singapore, Brazil, and Italy. Note to Editors: For
