Navigation and Survey Systems

JSC “VNII “Signal” develops navigation and survey systems for different wheeled and tracked combat vehicles.

All the systems are odometer-based, thus autonomous mode provided by dead reckoning is available. At the same time all the systems are integrated with GLONASS / NAVSTAR satellite navigation systems to avoid accumulating bias errors of the odometer channel and random errors of the satellite one.

Today “VNII “Signal” experts have been developing integrated systems based on combination of strapdown systems and odometers (mechanical and Doppler velocity sensors).

As the navigation systems of “VNII “Signal” design comprise grid azimuth and tilt gyro-sensors, they can be used, if necessary, as spatial reference systems.

Precise navigation systems are used to perform not only navigation but also survey missions.

Our navigation systems (NS) are subdivided according to their purpose into the following groups: NS for artillery fire control systems, NS for theater ballistic missile systems, NS for armored vehicles, NS for man-portable air-defense systems, NS for air-defense systems, NS for chemical reconnaissance vehicles, NS for ICBM support facilities, and NS for SPG.

More than 20 models of navigation systems have been put into service and phased into large-scale production.

Export versions of navigation systems have been developed and are delivered to foreign customers.
