The USCG has approved Northrop Grumman’s SeaFIND inertial navigation system (INS) for use as a shipboard gyrocompass solution.
The official approval comes after vigorous testing and evaluation in order to ensure that it complies with International Maritime Organisation (IMO) standards.
The system is designed using a modular architecture and comprises an inertial measurement unit and a separate electronics unit connected via a single cable.
Todd Leavitt, VP of maritime systems and integration at Northrop Grumman, said: ‘In addition to SeaFIND’s low size, weight and power, affordability and reliable performance in a GPS-denied environment, being type approved makes it very attractive to customers throughout the world.’
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
