ROLLE, Switzerland,
Nov. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Honeywell's (NYSE: HON) TALIN inertial land
navigation technology has been selected for installation on the
British Army's new AJAX armored fighting vehicles in development by
General Dynamics Land Systems UK. TALIN is a battle-tested
navigation solution that can improve mission success in difficult
terrain by providing users with a lightweight and highly accurate
laser guidance system.
Featuring three-axis inertial sensors and weighing less than 6
kilograms, TALIN is in operational use on military and commercial
platforms worldwide. It is easily installed and can be mounted in a
number of ways. It is smaller and lighter than other available
navigation solutions and offers more reliable performance.
"Soldiers depend on technologies to provide unparalleled
precision aboard their combat vehicles, as do workers using sensor
platforms or mining equipment," said Milind
Ghanekar, senior director OEMs, Defense and Space, Honeywell
Aerospace. "Over 15,000 Honeywell TALIN systems are deployed by
land, air and sea on more than 60 military and commercial platforms
worldwide. The British Army's AJAX program builds on our extensive
experience with this highly precise navigation technology."
The United Kingdom awarded
General Dynamics Land Systems UK a $5.9
billion contract in September
2014 to deliver 589 AJAX platforms. The contract with the
British Army builds on Honeywell's long-term relationship with
General Dynamics Land Systems in the
United States and is expected to run through 2023.
