DGNS / A-PNT Assessment

Abstract

The DGNS Upgrade program completes system engineering trade studies to reduce space, weight, and power with the introduction of new navigation support capabilities such as inertial sensor, MIL-STD-1553 interface card, and Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) map display. It also prepares ECPs to the existing DGNS ASN-128D LRU as a result of those trade studies. The DGNS upgrade continues with execution of Non-Recurring Engineering for CDU and Signal Data Converter LRU ECP packages. The ASN-128D CDU Upgrade replaces the current CDU faceplate with a touch screen display, provides a moving navigation map capability and optimized pilot interface to augment existing IFR capability and promote safer flight operations. It also enables CDU support for A-PNT operations in conjunction with additional system LRU upgrades, including anti-jam antenna capabilities.
