Safran launches NAVPULSE, the latest advanced naval position, navigation and timing data distribution system
Responding to growing demand for secure, reliable and resilient position, navigation and timing (PNT) solutions, Safran Electronics & Defense is advancing innovation with the introduction of NAVPULSE.
Safran Electronics & Defense has launched its latest innovation in the PNT segment: NAVPULSE, an advanced naval data distribution unit (DDU) designed to centralize navigation data from all shipboard sensors and optimize their distribution to generate the optimum navigation solution for users. It meets the rigorous demands of modern naval operations with an atomic clock and algorithms ensuring enhanced timing synchronization, anti-jamming and anti-spoofing detection to offer seamless and secure operations.
High-precision timing synchronization is essential for fleet-wide coordination in mission-critical operations such as communication, navigation, and self-defense. Robust anti-jamming and anti-spoofing protection also ensure the integrity and security of navigation and communication data and therefore protects naval assets from external threats. This is why NAVPULSE is designed to support comprehensive data distribution, delivering time, attitude, and precise navigation data across weapon systems, observation sights, and other shipboard systems, even in harsh or GNSS-denied environments.
“In today’s increasingly contested maritime domain, ensuring vessels can operate safely and with a high degree of precision is critical,” said Alexandre Ziegler, Executive VP, Defense GBU of Safran Electronics & Defense. “Our new NAVPULSE naval data distribution unit brings together the best in PNT technology to give naval forces the edge they need when operating in challenging environments and defending against electronic warfare threats.”
Safran is a global leader in advanced resilient PNT technologies. NAVPULSE is part of its ongoing commitment to provide advanced solutions for the maritime defense sector. It offers a modular and adaptive design, enabling easy integration within existing naval systems and future technologies for seamless upgrades. With its unparalleled combination of high precision, security and operational efficiency, NAVPULSE is set to become a vital enabler for naval fleets worldwide.
