Navigation systems play a vital role in aircraft flight safety. Safran Electronics & Defense supplies systems that combine performance and reliability, while also addressing increasing demand for contained costs.
The new SkyNaute family of navigation systems combines performance, safety and reliability in a package that is smaller and lighter than ever before.
The computers providing flight control on aircraft have to count on autonomous, accurate and dependable navigation systems to ensure safe, comfortable flights. Safran Electronics & Defense offers a wide range of navigation systems based on proven sensors. These systems also ensure the lowest operating cost on the market because of their optimized design. Our new SkyNaute family covers requirements for all types of airborne platforms – long range, single aisle and regional airplanes, helicopters and drones. SkyNaute family proposes hybrid inertial/satnav systems like ADIRU (Air Data Inertial Reference Unit) or attitude and heading reference systems like APIRS (Aircraft Piloting Inertial Reference System). We offer innovative navigation suites that can be integrated in critical avionics architectures.
ARINC 738 / D0 229C / ARINC 429 / ADIRU with optical (GLR) or vibrating (GRH) gyroscope.
APIRS (Aircraft Piloting Inertial Reference System) with fiber optical gyroscope (FOG).
