GEONYX by Safran Optics 1 – Inertial Navigation Technology for GNSS-denied Environments

Tuesday, April 28th, 2020

Like the title says, GEONYX is Safran Optics 1’s solution for Inertial Navigation Technology for GNSS-denied Environments.

Areas with inherent signal interference such as subterranean, heavy urban terrain, hardened concrete (indoors) have been common challenges for those relying on GNSS. But we’re moving into new territory where navigation systems are subjected to enemy jamming, spoofing, or even meaconing.

In this back to the future world, where GNSS signals are unreliable, we are rediscovering Inertial Navigation Systems. These consist of an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) where accelerometers pair with gyros such as a Ring Laser Gyro (RLG), Fiber Optic Gyro (FOG) or the Hemispherical Resonating Gyro or HRG Crystal by Safran.

Their GEONYX system uses three HRG Crystals for X, Y and Z axis measurements to calculate precise locations. Unlike legacy systems intended for aircraft and naval platforms, GEONYX is designed to mount on vehicles, turrets and artillery pieces.

*GNSS is a compilation of GPS (US), Galileo (EU), GLONASS (Russia), BeiDou (China) and regional ones like IRNSS (India) and QZSS (Japan), whom all rely on the transmission of signals via satellite. Each system has their own launched satellites to which they communicate for terrestrial navigation.

SCUBAPRO Sunday – Special Forces Watches in the NAM

Sunday, April 26th, 2020

When I first joined the Navy, they were switching from a version of the Type l, and ll to the Timex Iron man watches. I had never seen any of the Type l and ll, (Patch’s Watson had one he always had on at the reunions) but what I do remember is walking thru the compound and seeing one of the supply people sitting out onside with a hammer breaking all the watched that looked like type l and ll so that we could get more Timex. You can’t buy new ones until the old ones are gone. I have always heard that Rolex had made a watch for the Teams. I would love to have one of those watches, knowing the history of what it has seen, and it had been a part of.  

The Benrus Type l and later the Benrus Type ll was explicitly made for US Special Forces. They were mainly a dive watch, but they did make ones for land navigation, but they were also waterproof. Here are two articles that talk about watches. Some of the most iconic pictures from the early days of SEAL teams and Special Forces, you can see them wearing the watches.

Even Aldo Ray wore one in the movie The Green Berets. Why do I point that out? Well MSgt Muldoon rocks in that movies, and he was UDT in WW II. When he rips into the reporter about communist domination, that is one of the best scenes ever. I am not a fan of reporters.

SureFire Spotlight: The ProComp

Saturday, April 25th, 2020

SureFire Spotlight videos are a high level rundown of specific products. This one focuses on the ProComp.

The advanced SureFire ProComp muzzle brake, greatly reduces both recoil impulse and muzzle rise so that the weapon tracks straight back to keep you on target for faster shot-to-shot recovery. Its patented Impulse Diffusion design minimizes side blast and rear-directed concussion effects. The ProComp duplicates the design of the SureFire SOCOM SFMB muzzle brake, but unlike the latter it cannot be used to mount SureFire SOCOM suppressors. The ProComp is offered in both 5.56 and 7.62.

ProComp 7.62
