SENDA

Navigation system and synchronization server for Spanish F-110 frigates

General Information

Navigation system and synchronization server for Spanish F-110 frigates

The SENDA navigation system is GMV’s advanced navigation and time reference solution for naval systems.

SENDA includes a multi-constellation satellite navigation technology compatible with military and civilian signals and differential global positioning system (DGPS) corrections. It also supports external sensors to provide robust navigation in coverage areas or theaters of operations in the event of GNSS signal denial or seizure.

SENDA has a built-in synchronization server that generates high-precision stable time signals.
