TALIN Marine Inertial Navigation System (MINS)

Developed specifically for the unique requirements of the naval market, the TALIN Marine Inertial Navigation System (MINS) provides data on heading, pitch and roll, angular velocity and heave, combining the capabilities of an INS and an attitude heading and reference system (AHRS) in a single solution. Honeywell's TALIN offers a proven, battle-tested, best-value technology solution for precise, reliable inertial navigation system (INS)/global positioning system (GPS) navigation, pointing and weapons stabilization.

Built with Honeywell’s industry-leading, high-accuracy ring laser gyro and accelerometers for unparalleled performance, more than 15,000 TALIN systems are currently deployed by land, air and sea.

Versatile and reliable, the TALIN MINS is easily installed and can be hard-mounted in any orientation, providing superior accuracy and with mean time between failure (MTBF) greater than 50,000 hours—making it smaller, lighter and more reliable than other available solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical lead time for gas turbine overhaul services?

The lead time for gas turbine overhaul services ranges from 6 to 14 weeks, depending on the damage assessment, parts availability, and whether hot-section repairs are required. Expedited options may reduce this by 30%.
Do you provide customizations for legacy turbine control systems?

Yes, we retrofit legacy systems (e.g., GE Frame 5, Siemens V94.2) with modern digital controllers, typically completing hardware integration within 4-8 weeks. Software migration requires additional validation time.
How often should industrial gas turbines undergo performance testing?

We recommend annual performance testing under ISO 3977-2 standards. Critical applications (e.g., offshore platforms) may require semi-annual tests with emissions compliance checks.
Are your radiation-hardened (rad-hard) semiconductors compliant with MIL-PRF-38535?

All rad-hard devices (e.g., FPGA, ADC) are QML Class V certified under MIL-PRF-38535 and tested to MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 for SEU tolerance. Full qualification reports are available upon request.
What temperature ranges do your military-grade ICs support?

Our ASICs and power management ICs operate across -55°C to +175°C ambient temperatures, with derating curves provided in military temperature range (MTR) datasheets.
Are PMA parts interchangeable with OEM components?

Our PMA parts (e.g., actuators, sensors) hold FAA/EASA Form 1 certification and match OEM form/fit/function. Installation requires SB/MB documentation per FAA AC 23.1529.
What traceability standards do you follow for aircraft fasteners?

All NAS/MS fasteners include full DNA traceability: melt source (AMS 2301), heat/lot numbers, and AS9100-compliant MTRs with ultrasonic test reports.
How do you handle urgent AOG (Aircraft on Ground) requests?

AOG orders ship within 4 hours for stocked items (FAA-PMA, EASA Part 21G). Non-stock critical parts trigger priority manufacturing with 72-hour max turnaround.
