KVH details new TACNAV contracts
KVH Industries has announced two new awards worth a combined $2.7 million for work related to its tactical navigation (TACNAV) systems.
The first contract, worth $1.3 million, will see the company provide field service representative support to an unnamed country in the Middle East. This includes installation, operations, and maintenance of KVH tactical navigation devices, and two years of support beginning immediately, with an extension option for three more years and an additional $2.2 million.
Under the second contract, valued at $1.4 million, KVH will deliver TACNAV systems to an international customer for an armoured vehicle application. The solution - a variant of KVH’s TACNAV TLS and TACNAV Light - is designed to help military vehicle crews maintain situational awareness with or without GPS. The hardware shipments for this order are expected to take place in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Dan Conway, executive vice president of guidance and stabilization, KVH, said: ‘KVH’s TACNAV solution serves as a crucial resource for navigation and battle management, keeping soldiers safe and out of harm’s way wherever they travel.
‘This new order reaffirms the value of KVH’s TACNAV products as an important tool for US and allied warfighters, providing precision navigation as well as coordination of vehicles in critical situations, and adds to our backlog for the year.’
KVH’s TACNAV military vehicle navigation systems provide unjammable precision navigation, heading, and pointing data for vehicle drivers, crews, and commanders. They can also serve as a heading and position source for situational awareness, and are designed to integrate with Battle Management Systems as a vital component for effective battlefield management.
