Photonic Integrated Circuit Technology Integrated Aboard KVH TACNAV Units
KVH Industries has upgraded its TACNAV 3D tactical navigation system with photonic integrated chip (PIC) technology in the P-1775 inertial measurement unit (IMU). KVH has been developing and testing the PIC technology for more than three years and continues to roll the technology into existing product lines. The technology was the subject of two recent Slide from Inside GNSS/KVH webinar on photonic integrated circuit technology. KVH’s PIC technology features an integrated planar optical chip that replaces individual fiber-optic components to simplify production while maintaining or improvi...
