  • Terrain relative localization for lunar entry, descent, and landing
    For example, Honeywell recently developed an Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar Sensor with Integrated Map Correlation system called the Precision Terrain Aided Navigation (PTAN) system.
  • Robust and efficient terrain navigation of underwater vehicles
    The AUV62F vehicle uses over 400 measuring beams, as shown in Figure 3, but the measuring can also be done using interferometry and synthetic aperture sonar as in the Sapphires vehicle or Honeywell’s PTAN ( Precision Terrain Aided Navigation ) system for flying vehicles…
  • Briefs ‐ Tomahawk guidance upgrade
    These are necessary to provide a digital elevation dataset meeting the requirements of the Precision Terrain Aided Navigation (PTAN) program, also known as Inertial Terrain‐Aided Guidance (ITAG), to upgrade Tomahawk cruise missiles.
  • Other land‐attack advances
    Future TacTom improvements include the Tactical Tomahawk Penetrator Variant (TTPV), and the introduction of Precision Terrain Aided Navigation (PTAN).
  • Electronic navigation systems
    Examples of a DBRNS include bathymetric navigation, digital scene matching area correlation (DSMAC), terrain contour matching (TERCOM), and precision terrain aided navigation (PTAN).
  • Missile Guidance and Control Systems
    Precision Terrain Aided Navigation (used in the TacTom or Tactical Tomahawk missile).
  • NAVAL WAR COLLEGE Newport, R.I.
    This database will provide an ability to focus on developing alternate systems such as Precision Terrain Aided Navigation (PTAN).
  • An algorithm for terrain-aided inertial navigation based on nonlinear optimal filtering
    As a result, a high dependence and high precision Terrain - Aided Navigation (TAN) technique is immediately demanded, which is expected to effectively increase the battle effec- tiveness of weapon systems, such as aircrafts and cruise missiles [2,3].
  • Tactical Tomahawk becomes Tomahawk Block IV
    This is the only funded development of the Block IV, although further enhancements are being considered in the warhead (possibly to improve penetration or energy) and guidance, the latter through the addition of Precision Terrain - Aided Navigation (PTAN).
  • Panning for gold
    TLAM and the new Tactical Tomahawk are candidates for application of the Precision Terrain - Aided Navigation (PTAN) digital map-matching system that is intended to augment or replace some of the packages employing the Global Positioning System (GPS) for en-route navigation…
