Overview

Background: Created during a combat deployment to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (Oef), Tactical Nav was developed to honor the soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice. As the first Mgrs-focused navigation app available on all app stores, it serves as a tool to enhance soldier safety and mission success, built with the memory of fallen comrades at its core. Built from the ground up in the rugged mountains of eastern Afghanistan, Tactical Nav was developed by a U.S.

Army Field Artillery officer with the vision of crafting a low-cost and highly accurate mobile navigation platform tailored for the U.S. Tactical Nav's journey began in the Pech River Valley in Kunar Province, Afghanistan. Jonathan J. Springer, a Field Artilleryman serving as a Fire Support Officer with the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), embarked on the development of Tactical Nav following the memorial services for Spc.

Thompson and Spc. Plunk, who were killed in action on June 25, 2010. Despite initial rejections by the Department of Defense, Captain Springer remained steadfast in his mission to continue developing 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 killed and wounded in battle. He used his life savings to fund and develop Tacnav-X, all with the ultimate hope of saving military lives, and helping his fellow service members in accomplishing their missions at home and abroad. Tactical Nav officially launched on the App Store and Google Play on February 14, 2011. Built For Accuracy: Tacnav-X's performance accurately matches that of the.
