IAI's Tamam Division Unveils Third Generation Precision Terrain Navigation System (RNAV-IPON)
Feb 14, 2008
Israel Aerospace Industries’ Tamam Division (IAI/TAMAM) has unveiled the new Reference and NAVigation Inertial, Position, Orientation & Navigation (RNAV-IPON) system. RNAV-IPON is Tamam’s third generation of successful precision terrain navigation systems. The system is suitable for tanks, mobile mortars, air-defense systems, command and Special Forces vehicles and surveillance vehicles.
RNAV-IPON is an Inertial Navigation System/Global Positioning System (INS/GPS). The INS/GPS navigation system which provides inertial data for control and stabilization. It has Ring-Laser-Gyro (RLG) technology integrated to the INS/GPS.
In addition to its navigation data, RNAV-IPON provides inertial data for equipment control and stabilization, especially suited for stabilization of tank guns and surveillance equipment.
Alignment and navigation features:
• Self–alignment, continuous position, heading and orientation data
• Alignment on the move
• Autonomous navigation with the following sub-modes:
o Integrated navigation with inertial navigation, odometer and GPS updates
o Integrated navigation with inertial navigation and GPS updates only
o Inertial navigation using the odometer updates only
• Waypoint navigation
Alignment and navigation accuracy in autonomous navigation mode without GPS: Self alignment: < 10 mRad within 10 min alignment
Horizontal position: 1 % of the distance traveled
