KVH Industries has received a new contract from a southeast Asian customer for the purchase of KVH’s Tacnav II fiber optic gyro (FOG)-based vehicle navigation systems and displays. The contract has a total value of approximately $2.3 million with shipments starting in 2007 and extending through 2010.
KVH’s Tacnav II is a FOG-based tactical navigation system for vehicles that combines GPS position data with inputs from its fiber optic gyro, optional digital compass, and the vehicle’s odometer to provide unjammable, precision navigation, heading, and pointing data for vehicle drivers, crews, and commanders.
Tacnav II also offers a link between each vehicle and the customer’s Battle Management System (BMS), making each unit a node in a secure military network that consolidates a wide range of tactical data to provide detailed information to individual units and military commanders.
