Safran Federal Systems, a provider of assured position, navigation and timing (APNT) solutions, has been selected by Moog Inc. to provide its Skynaute navigation solution as part of Moog’s Genesys Avionics Suite for the Lockheed Hercules platform (L-Series and C-130).
Skynaute is a hybrid inertial/GNSS navigation system based on HRG Crystal technology. It will serve as a critical component of the Hercules avionics suite designed and integrated by Moog.
Under this agreement, Safran Federal Systems will supply Skynaute units to support enhanced navigation performance in demanding operational environments.
“Being selected by Moog underscores the reliability, innovation, and mission readiness of our Skynaute solution,” said Tony Full, senior director of Business Development, Navigation Systems, Safran Federal Systems. “This collaboration continues our tradition of delivering precise, resilient navigation technologies to meet the evolving needs of military aviation.”
Skynaute is engineered to meet the needs of both legacy and next-generation military aircraft, providing superior accuracy and robustness with minimal size, weight, and power consumption. The system is suited for retrofit and modernization programs, particularly for platforms like the Hercules that remain integral to global air mobility and tactical transport operations.
Safran Federal Systems supports Safran Defense & Space Inc. (Safran DSI) by providing APNT technologies across a range of defense and aerospace applications.
