Moving Map Display for Military Vehicles Provides Critical Navigation Information on Touchscreen
September 12 2017 - 1:00AM
KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq:KVHI), has introduced the TACNAV®
Moving Map Display (MMD), offering real-time moving map technology
for military vehicles. The TACNAV MMD provides an easy-to-read,
easy-to-use graphical navigation capability by combining available
internal or external GPS/GNSS with TACNAV’s inertial or
compass-guided navigation solution.
Soldiers who once relied on grid reference alone now have the
benefit of viewing a visual map on a 10-inch diagonal, high bright
color display viewable in all lighting conditions. They can create,
store, and activate waypoints and routes from the touchscreen,
which helps increase situational awareness.
The TACNAV MMD displays position, heading, speed, cross track
error, distance, and bearing to waypoint. Vehicle location and
other pertinent navigation information is shown on either a
satellite or topographic map stored locally on the TACNAV MMD. The
information can be displayed to the vehicle commander, driver, and
other occupants as required. The TACNAV MMD is capable of
presenting navigation information in multiple languages, enhancing
joint multinational operations. “The display was designed for ease
of use with a touchscreen that provides intuitive operation, which
is a major strength on the battlefield,” says Dan Conway, executive
vice president of KVH’s inertial navigation group. “Anything that
increases a soldier’s situational awareness will help to keep that
soldier safe. The moving map display enhances the capabilities of
our widely fielded TACNAV systems, which have been helping to keep
soldiers out of harm’s way for years.” The TACNAV MMD is compatible
with existing TACNAV systems including the TACNAV Light/GPS and the
TACNAV 3D, and will be compatible with future TACNAV systems. KVH’s
TACNAV product line is currently in use by the U.S. Army and Marine
Corps, as well as many allied militaries, including Saudi Arabia,
Canada, Great Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, Spain, Egypt,
Botswana, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Romania, Poland, Turkey,
Malaysia, Switzerland, South Korea, Singapore, Brazil, and Italy.
From September 12-15, KVH is displaying the TACNAV MMD in Booth N5
160, at Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI), held
at the ExCeL convention center in London, U.K. KVH will also
display the TACNAV MMD at AUSA, in Washington, DC, from October
9-11, Booth 7443. Note to Editors: For more information about
