Created during a combat deployment to Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), Tactical NAV was the first MGRS-focused navigation app available on all app stores.

BACKGROUND:

Built from the ground up in the rugged mountains of eastern Afghanistan, Tactical NAV was created by a US Army field artillery officer with the vision of creating a low-cost and highly accurate mobile navigation platform tailor-made for the US military.

Tactical NAV's journey began in the Pech River Valley and Korengal Valley in Kunar Province, Afghanistan.

U.S. Army Capt. Jonathan J. Springer, a fire support officer with the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), immediately began memorial services for Spc. Blair D. Thompson and Spc. Jared C. Plunk, who was killed in action on June 25, 2010.

Despite initial rejections by the Department of Defense, Captain Springer remained steadfast in his mission to further develop the tactical NAV – even to this day. His ultimate goals were (and still are) to make a positive difference for other soldiers and service members and to honor the men and women who died and were wounded in battle.

He used his savings to fund and develop Tactical NAV, all with the ultimate hope of saving military lives and helping fellow service members accomplish their missions at home and abroad.

Tactical NAV was officially launched on the App Store and Google Play on February 14, 2011.

BUILT FOR ACCURACY:

The performance of Tactical NAV closely matches that of the AN/PSN-13 Defense Advanced GPS Receiver (DAGR).

MISSION:

Give military service members a highly accurate and powerful mobile navigation platform.

VISION:

Help and support our nation's military personnel with their mobile navigation needs and enable them to operate and win in both training and combat environments.

In short:

Tactical NAV has successfully undergone evaluation against other software platforms and devices such as Nett Warrior, ATAK and BFT. Accuracy is within 1 meter of these officially approved systems issued by the DoD.

IAPs & SUBSCRIPTIONS:

Tactical NAV offers in-app purchases (IAPs) and subscriptions. Currently, Tactical Drawing Mode is available as an in-app purchase, and Offline Map Mode is also accessible to users as a monthly or annual subscription.

All revenue generated from these features contributes to further development coding and updates, and a portion of the proceeds are donated to charities that specifically benefit disabled veterans.
