Created during a combat deployment to Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), TacNav Systems® was born. Its app, Tactical NAV, was the first MGRS-focused navigation app available on all major app stores, trusted by tens of thousands of users worldwide — with the feedback to prove it.
BACKGROUND:
Built from the ground up in the rugged mountains of eastern Afghanistan, Tactical NAV® originates from the mind of a U.S. Army Field Artillery officer who envisioned creating a low-cost and extremely accurate mobile-targeting platform specifically for U.S. military warfighters.
Tactical NAV's journey began when two Soldiers were killed in the notorious Pech River Valley of Kunar Province, Afghanistan.
U.S. Army Capt. Jonathan J. Springer, a Fire Support Officer with the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) on his third combat deployment, started developing the tactical platform immediately following the memorial services for Spc. Blair D. Thompson and Spc. Jared C. Plunk, who were killed in action on June 25, 2010.
After pitching the idea and facing rejection by the Department of Defense, Springer remained resolute in his mission to continue building Tactical NAV to make a difference for other Soldiers and honor the men killed in battle.
He ended up using his life savings to keep advancing the Tactical NAV project, all with the ultimate hope of saving U.S. military lives and helping fellow service members accomplish their missions at home and abroad.
Tactical NAV officially launched on the App Store in February 2011 and later on Google Play.
MISSION:
Tactical NAV's mission is to provide U.S. military warfighters with a low-cost, extremely accurate, and exceedingly powerful mobile tactical navigational solution.
VISION:
Our vision is to assist and support our nation’s warfighters with their mobile navigational needs and to further enable them to fight and win in the Multi-Domain Operational (MDO) battlespace.
