Navigation systems for defense - Safran

Setting the global standard in inertial navigation systems, Safran provides powerful positioning solutions that meet the full range of defense requirements: aircraft, ships and land vehicles.

Thanks to its mastery of the full range of inertial technologies (mechanics, laser, optical fiber, resonant structure), Safran has consolidated more than 70 years of know-how in civil and military navigation systems operating in all environments. Combining attitude and heading reference with inertial navigation, the systems developed by Safran offer a high level of performance and accuracy.

The inertial reference units developed by Safran are at the heart of weapon systems. They provide precise navigation and positioning information to combat platforms when engaged in missions, whether for the stabilization of weapons systems or weapon release.They deliver invaluable assistance to these systems, while ensuring maximum security. On advanced fighters like the Rafale, they provide fully autonomous operation and resistance to electronic warfare.
