KVH Augments Battle-proven Inertial Tactical Navigation Solution with New Moving Map Display
09 October 2017 - 10:00PM
KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq:KVHI), announced today that its
TACNAV® 3D inertial navigation system is now available with KVH’s
exclusive TACNAV Moving Map Display (MMD). The MMD offers real-time
moving map technology with an easy-to-read, easy-to-use graphical
navigation capability.
Soldiers who once relied on grid reference alone now have the
benefit of viewing a visual map on a 10-inch diagonal, high bright
color display viewable in all lighting conditions. They can create,
store, and activate waypoints and routes from the touchscreen,
which helps increase situational awareness. The TACNAV MMD displays
position, heading, speed, cross track error, distance, and bearing
to waypoint, and is capable of presenting navigation information in
multiple languages, enhancing joint multinational operations. The
TACNAV MMD adds even more capability to the TACNAV 3D, a
high-performance fiber optic gyro-based inertial navigation system
providing full three-dimensional navigation and an embedded GNSS.
TACNAV 3D’s 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. “For military vehicles operating
on the modern digital battlefield, TACNAV 3D is a vital component
for effective battlefield management,” says Dan Conway, KVH
executive vice president for the inertial navigation group. “The
MMD enhances the capabilities of TACNAV 3D, providing touchscreen
operation designed for intuitive use by today’s soldiers, and
continuing our commitment to keeping soldiers out of harm’s way.”
The TACNAV 3D with MMD builds upon the success of KVH’s widely
fielded TACNAV product line, which 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. From October 9-11, KVH is displaying the TACNAV
3D with MMD at the AUSA Annual Meeting and Exposition, Booth 7443,
in Washington, DC. Note to Editors: For more information about the
