Safran Federal Systems Introduces Blacknaute™

At the 2025 Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting and Exposition held in Washington, D.C., Safran Federal Systems proudly unveiled the Blacknaute™, an innovative inertial navigation system tailored for environments where GPS signals are absent or compromised due to electronic warfare.

Purpose-Built for Defense

The Blacknaute™ system has been specifically developed for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), leveraging Safran's proprietary HRG Dual Core™ technology. This technology has a strong reputation globally for its reliability in mission-critical applications, thus ensuring that it meets the stringent demands of modern military operations.

Features That Set Blacknaute™ Apart

The key features of Blacknaute™ establish its competitive edge in the realm of inertial navigation:

• - Precision Performance: The system exhibits a drift rate of less than 0.4 nautical miles per hour, guaranteeing sustained accuracy even in challenging environments where GPS signals are either jammed or unavailable.
• - HRG Dual Core™ Technology: The patented hemispherical resonator gyro technology underpins Blacknaute™, ensuring a legacy of military and space-grade performance.
• - M-Code Ready GPS Receiver: With an integrated multi-constellation receiver that supports M-Code, Blacknaute™ offers secure military satellite navigation capabilities.
• - Ultra-Stable Atomic Clock: The system is equipped with an atomic clock that provides exceptional timing precision, exhibiting a drift of less than one second per 30,000 years—further enhancing system synchronization and integrity.
• - Resilience Against Electronic Warfare: Blacknaute™ incorporates proprietary Interference Detection and Mitigation (IDM) technology, ensuring resistance against jamming and spoofing while maintaining awareness of potential threats.
• - Optimized for Tactical Use: Weighing less than 16 pounds, this lightweight, modular, and rugged system is designed for seamless integration into various platforms, including fixed-wing, rotary, and autonomous systems.
• - Standards-Based Integration: With compliance to MIL-STD interfaces and TSO-C220, the system is fully aligned with open mission systems architecture, enabling broader accessibility and deployment options.
