Rockwell Collins NavFire GPS Technology Used in Weapon Systems

Vulcano 127-millimeter artillery shell

Rockwell Collins is integrating its NavFire Precision Positioning Service (PPS) GPS into Leonardo-Finmeccanica’s VULCANO naval and artillery weapons systems.  Rockwell says it customized the NavFire receivers for the customer’s ammunition and provided support during testing.
 
Vulcano is a family of unguided (BER) and guided (GLR) ammunition for the 76- and 127-millimeter naval guns and 155-millimeter land artillery systems built by Leonardo, an Italian company known as Finmeccanica until its renaming earlier this year.

Clarion to Use Furuno’s DR/GNSS Module in Navigation System

Clarion to Use Furuno’s DR/GNSS Module in Navigation System

Clarion NXR16 with Furuno GV-86 GPS/dead reckoning-module

Furuno’s GV-86 GPS receiver chip with its dead-reckoning DR/GNSS module will be integrated into Clarion’s NXR16 car navigation systems for the auto-leasing and car rental industries.

The GV-86 features a dead-reckoning-enabled GNSS receiver that receives concurrent GPS, satellite-based augmentation system, and Quasi-Zenith Satellite System signals. The dead-reckoning capability allows the unit to provide positioning while in such harsh environments as tunnels, urban canyons, and underground parking garages where GNSS signals may be blocked, the company said.
