Ventura Defense Revolutionizes Precision: Unveiling the GEONYX-Enhanced Mortar System
The Spanish firm Ventura Defense specializes in the creation of the ALAKRAN light mobile mortar carrier system, available in both 81mm and 120mm variants. ALAKRAN is acclaimed as the first mortar carrier with automatic targeting functionality that eliminates the need for a recoil absorption mechanism. Celebrated for its exceptional modular adaptability, ALAKRAN is engineered to operate in extreme conditions and is optimally crafted for modern operational demands.
With the successful incorporation of Safran Electronics & Defense’s GEONYX™ inertial navigation system (INS), ALAKRAN is now achieving unmatched targeting and navigation accuracy. GEONYX™ is a compact land navigation and orientation unit that delivers navigational and dynamic attitude references even in fully GNSS-denied environments, accommodating the most challenging artillery systems. GEONYX™ integrates Hemispherical Resonating Gyro (HRG) technology, a cutting-edge inertial component that enhances both performance and dependability.
ALAKRAN and GEONYX™ represent an ideal synergy. Both systems are engineered to excel in demanding environments, under GNSS-denied conditions, and across various terrains, including urban and arid landscapes. GEONYX™ stands out as the most compact, durable, and reliable land inertial navigation and targeting solution available. ALAKRAN is the most resilient, easily maintained, fast, precise, effective, and cost-efficient mortar carrier on the market.
Together, they are designed to equip customers with an effective shoot-and-scoot capability for operators, thanks to ALAKRAN’s unparalleled rapid deployment and GEONYX™’s swift alignment time to achieve optimal performance.
ALAKRAN, enhanced with GEONYX™ INS, offers a modular, accurate, and highly-reliable lightweight mortar system for operators, meeting their most rigorous requirements.
