Inertial Navigation for Defense Applications

Defense platforms demand the highest levels of inertial sensor performance, reliability, and environmental ruggedness. From missile guidance to naval ship navigation, GyroNavi's strategic-grade sensors deliver the precision and dependability required for mission-critical military operations.

Missile & Projectile Guidance

Modern precision-guided munitions rely on inertial navigation for mid-course guidance and terminal homing. GyroNavi's Fiber Optic Gyroscopes provide the angular rate sensing and attitude reference that enable autonomous flight to the target, even in GPS-denied electronic warfare environments.

• High-G Launch Survival: Sensors withstand extreme acceleration during launch
• GPS-Denied Operation: Pure inertial guidance maintains accuracy without satellite signals
• Rapid Alignment: Fast gyrocompassing for reduced pre-launch preparation time
• Compact SWaP: Miniaturized designs for volume-constrained missile platforms

Naval Ship & Submarine INS

Surface ships and submarines require continuous, jam-resistant navigation over extended deployments. Shipboard Inertial Navigation Systems (SINS) provide the primary position, velocity, and attitude reference for navigation, fire control, and sensor stabilization.

• Navigation-Grade Accuracy: Sub-nautical-mile position error over 24+ hour missions
• GNSS-Independent: Fully autonomous navigation without external radio signals
• Long-Term Stability: Ultra-low drift for submerged submarine operations
• Weapon System Alignment: Precise heading and attitude for fire control solutions

Armored Vehicle Navigation

Main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and armored personnel carriers operate in contested environments where GPS jamming is likely. An onboard INS provides uninterrupted positioning for battlefield management systems, turret stabilization, and fire-on-the-move capability.

• GPS-Denied Navigation: Maintain tactical situational awareness under electronic attack
• Gun Stabilization: High-bandwidth angular rate data for main gun and turret control
• Ruggedized Design: Shock and vibration qualified for tracked vehicle environments
• NATO STANAG Compliance: Designed for integration with standard vehicle architectures

Weapon Stabilization & Fire Control

Precision weapon systems—from remote weapon stations to artillery pointing systems—require accurate angular sensing for target tracking and stabilization. GyroNavi's FOG and MEMS gyroscopes provide the rate and attitude data that enable accurate fire in all conditions.
