Northrop Grumman Corporation has been selected by the Eurofighter Consortium and prime contractor Alenia Aermacchi to provide inertial and satellite navigation systems for Tranche 3 of the Eurofighter Typhoon multirole combat aircraft.
Based on high-accuracy fibre-optic gyro technology, Northrop Grumman's inertial navigation system and complementary GPS receiver incorporate state-of-the-art features, such as selective availability/anti-spoofing module architecture and an anti-jam antenna system. Also, the GPS unit supports future enhancements such as digital maps and direct drive display, which utilizes a graphics processor capable of directly controlling the aircraft's multifunction displays for improved viewing and integration in the aircraft's avionics.
