\"Safran<\/p>\n

Safran Federal Systems<\/strong> announced the U.S. launch of the Blacknaute Inertial Navigation System, a next-generation solution engineered to deliver precision navigation in GPS-denied and Electronic Warfare-contested environments, at the 2025 Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting & Exposition. Purpose-built for the U.S. DoD community, Blacknaute\u2122 is powered by Safran’s patented HRG Dual Core technology, which is field-proven and trusted across mission-critical applications worldwide. The system is designed to support current platforms and other emerging DoD platforms requiring resilient positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT).<\/p>\n

“Blacknaute\u2122 represents a leap forward in GPS-denied inertial navigation,” said Jon Leombrone<\/strong>, Executive Vice President of Navigation Systems at Safran Federal Systems<\/strong>. “With high-performance capabilities, modular architecture, and an open-systems design, Blacknaute\u2122 is built to meet the evolving demands of next-generation defense platforms.”<\/p>\n
