Precision navigation system delivering mission-critical position and attitude data. The EMCORE Dynamic Reference Unit-Hybrid Replacement (DRU-H-R) provides mission-critical precision pointing and location for warfighters. In collaboration with the U.S. Army, EMCORE’s precision navigation systems deliver vital data for survey, pointing, and positioning, essential for executing precise, indirect mass fires and counter-fire operations.Advanced Capabilities and ConfigurationsThe DRU-H-R is designed with growth capacity to incorporate an embedded Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) GPS with M-code capability, ensuring enhanced security and reliability. Additionally, it can be configured for versatile applications, including unmanned systems, rotational platforms, and shipboard environments.Combat-Proven PrecisionReplacing the DRU-H on Paladin and Firefinder systems, the DRU-H-R provides accurate vehicle position and attitude data critical for supporting U.S. ground forces in all combat phases. This advanced system features high-accuracy, combat-proven inertial sensors currently deployed on the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS), High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), and Improved Position and Azimuth Determining System (IPADS).Future-Ready DesignEngineered for sustainability and affordability, the DRU-H-R ensures long-term operational effectiveness, meeting the evolving needs of the Army of tomorrow. This advanced precision navigation system guarantees that our forces remain equipped with the best technology to maintain superiority on the battlefield.

The EMCORE DRU-H-R is a precision navigation system providing vehicle position and attitude data for Paladin self-propelled howitzers and Firefinder radar systems, replacing the DRU-H with a design engineered for long-term supportability and growth. It incorporates high-accuracy inertial sensors proven on MLRS and HIMARS fire control systems, and includes a growth path for embedded SAASM GPS with M-code capability for enhanced anti-jam and anti-spoofing performance.

The DRU-H-R is configurable for use in unmanned systems, rotational platforms, and shipboard environments in addition to its primary wheeled and tracked vehicle applications. Its combination of precision inertial sensing with embedded GNSS capability makes it appropriate for artillery fire control, indirect fire mission support, and other applications requiring accurate position and azimuth data under contested GPS conditions.
