Inertial Navigation Systems

Safran designs and manufactures cutting-edge inertial reference systems and inertial navigation units (INUs). Our solutions are used for various applications, including armored vehicles, military helicopters, submarines, satellites, and autonomous vehicles. Whether supporting combat operations, transportation, training exercises, maritime patrols, or other critical functions, Safran’s inertial guidance systems deliver highly accurate precision and reliability in GNSS denied environments.

An inertial navigation system (INS) is a high-tech navigator using motion and rotation sensors with a computer. It helps determine the location, movement, and speed of an object. Dead reckoning, an INS method for knowing positioning, calculates an object’s position and orientation based on its starting location. With this, people in airplanes, submarines, or spacecrafts can guide and keep track of their location without GPS signals. Safran INS systems work with highly accurate and high performance technology to ensure you’re ready for any situation, including optional NavWar to combat jamming, spoofing, and meaconing.
