AN/PSN-8( ) Manpack Navigation Set

navigation data, exchanges data with other interconnected systems, and monitors the set’s performance. The navigation mode allows the operator to enter mission data; view position, velocity, and time data; and control the set’s configuration. The “self-test’’ mode allows the operator to perform a complete test of the navigation set at any time. When the set is in “test,” it will not track satellites. The two major components of the AN/WRN-6(V) are the R-2331/URN receiver and the indicator control C- 11702/UR. The other units (antenna, antenna amplifier, and mounting base) perform functions similar to those of similar units in other systems. For more detailed operation and maintenance technical manual. AN/PSN-8( ) Manpack Navigation Set The AN/PSN-8( ) operates similarly to the AN/WRN- 6(V), though obviously it is not interfaced with other equipment. Shown in figure 1-14, each manpack contains a receiver section and a computer section. The receiver processes the rf signals from the satellites and sends the satellite’s positions and times to the computer. The computer uses the positions and times to find the satellite set’s position coordinates, elevation, and changes in the position of the manpack set. The time it takes for the set to change position is used to compute speed.
