Magnetic Anomaly Aided Navigation
Overview
Honeywell’s Magnetic Anomaly Aided Navigation system delivers a passive, resilient solution for GPS-denied or GPS-disrupted environments. Leveraging naturally occurring local variations in Earth’s magnetic field, Magnetic Anomaly Aided Navigation compares real-time magnetic measurements with geo-referenced magnetic anomaly maps to determine precise location—day or night, in any weather, over any terrain.
Key Benefits
Honeywell Alternative Navigation Architecture
Provides the integration framework that enables Magnetic Anomaly Aided Navigation to operate in concert with other modalities like vision and celestial systems—delivering fused, drift-free positioning in GPS-denied environments. Its open architecture and low-SWaP design ensure seamless deployment across diverse platforms, from fixed-wing aircraft to munitions.
Key Benefits
- GPS-Denied Resilience: Provides true absolute position fixes that do not drift over time, even in environments where GPS is jammed or spoofed.
- All-Weather, All-Terrain Operation: Functions reliably over land, water, and in poor visibility conditions.
- Passive and Secure: Immune to electronic detection and interference, ensuring stealth and survivability.
- Low-SWaP Integration: Compact, lightweight, and power-efficient design (<7.5 lbs, <10W) enables easy installation across a wide range of platforms.
- Open Architecture: Seamlessly integrates with Honeywell’s vision-aided and celestial navigation systems or third-party host navigators.
