Navigation systems for surface vessels

Sagem (Safran group) develops and manufactures high-performance, high-precision inertial navigation systems for the complete spectrum of surface vessels, from aircraft carriers to patrol ships

Recent naval programs, such as the FREMM European Multi-Mission Frigate, are equipped with these inertial navigation systems. Some of the most emblematic systems combining sophisticated inertial navigation and computer technologies are deployed in naval aviation applications.
Sagem proposes at-sea alignment solutions for aircraft carriers, for example, which enable the ship’s navigation system to be aligned with navigation systems on carrier-borne aircraft.

SIGMA 40

The Sigma 40 high-precision inertial/hybrid navigation system provides precise navigation and enhances the performance of the ship’s sensors and self-defense systems
