Navigational Aids
Ensuring safe, accurate and resilient navigational systems for civil and military ANSP
Civil and military ANSP rely on Thales’ innovative and resilient Navigational Aids (ILS –DME – VOR –TACAN) to ensure safe and reliable aircraft with precise position, distance, altitude from Take-off, En-Route to Landing
Tackle the challenges of resilient air navigation solutions
Keep track of the aircraft's position and stay safely connected during all phases of flight: take-off, en-route navigation, and landing.
-
Resilience
Thales ground navigation aids ensure reliable positioning even when GNSS is denied or jammed. With advanced anti-jamming, cybersecurity, and fault-tolerant design, they guarantee continuous, secure navigation across diverse environments and mission profiles.
-
Performance
Thales' systems deliver precise position, heading, and height info for safe en-route, approach, and landing. Compliant with ICAO CAT I-III, they optimize flight paths, reduce pilot workload, and support both civil and military aviation with reliable, high-performance navigation.

Sustainability
Designed for energy efficiency, Thales navigation aids reduce power use and environmental impact. Compact, rugged cabinets cut infrastructure needs, while precise navigation enables fuel savings and lower emissions. Durable, modular design extends system life and minimizes waste.
ENABLING THE FUTURE OF NAVIGATION WITH THE 5th GENERATION
Pilots use data of navigation to determine their position. They can rely on our resilient NAVAIDS to manage their flight efficiently, ensuring organized operations for En-route, approach and Landing operations. When GNSS denied, pilots depend on these new generation of navigational solutions (ILS – DME – VOR –TACAN) for safe and resilient flight operations
Pilots rely on GNSS to determine their position along a flight route, using satellite signals. GNSS provides data on position, distance, heading and altitude but it is vulnerable to spoofing, jamming, which compromise safety. Thales's 5th generation of Navigation Aids mitigate this risk with modern equipment, enhanced architecture and superior performance, ensuring accurate flight information. DME 5x- VOR 5x - TACAN 5x systems allows aircraft to navigate safely.
