The ParaNav system has demonstrated greatly improved accuracy, mission success, and safety over other existing navigation methods. We offer both a Rockwell Collins MPE-S (SAASM) receiver or a commercial Rockwell Collins standard positioning service module as options.

This low weight, helmet mounted electronic device will not impede the parachutist’s movement. The ParaNav system is comprised of a conformal navigation pod that is rigidly attached to the parachutist’s helmet, and a micro-display module affixed to the parachutist’s goggles or blast shield. The display module is connected to the navigational pod via a thin cable assembly and connector.

The intuitive man-machine interface (graphical user interface (GUI)) can easily be accessed by the parachutist via buttons on the navigation pod to show a whole array of information on the micro-display. This includes jumper's location in real-time from the GPS, heading/ground track, estimated time of arrival and distance to the landing zone. The unit also provides a real time prediction of the jumper's ability to reach the pre-selected primary landing zone and/ or alternate landing zones.

Mission data is uploaded wirelessly to the ParaNav™ System from the Joint Precision Air Drop System (JPADS) mission planner. With this loaded mission data, the embedded navigation software in the ParaNav provides the jumper with altitude, speed over ground, ground track/heading, GPS status, estimated arrival altitude, battery status, direction-to and distance-from the selected landing zone (designated insertion point), and other data displayed in a graphics/alpha-numeric format on the display module. The ParaNav can log data from individual missions, or training evolutions - and download the data later for subsequent after-action review, or analysis.
