Alternative Navigation Systems

Honeywell’s suite of alternative navigation systems provides civilian and military manned and unmanned aircraft with critical capabilities for weathering GNSS-denied environments and situations such as jamming and spoofing.

Solutions for large aircraft include:

Vision-Aided Navigation System – compares data from live camera feeds to map data to provide a highly accurate passive unjammable positioning capability

Celestial-Aided Navigation System – utilizes a star tracker to observe stars and Resident Space Objects (RSOs) with GPS-like accuracy results

Magnetic Anomaly-Aided Navigation System – measures the strength of the Earth’s magnetic field and compares with magnetic map data to provide accurate positioning

Radar-Aided Navigation System – uses radars to obtain velocity data that can be used to increase the accuracy of inertial navigation systems

Solutions for small UAS (unmanned aerial systems) include:

GPSdome by InfiniDome – compatible with all GNSS receivers and antennas, and provides protection against GPS jamming, ensuring continuity of autonomous navigation and operation

Honeywell Compact Inertial Navigation System (HCINS) – uses tactical-grade inertial sensors to deliver position, orientation and velocity data and obtain centimeter-level accuracy

Honeywell Radar Velocity System (HRVS) – low-SWaP mmWave velocity aiding system that outputs range, velocity and angle data to inertial navigation systems
