Army NAVSAT User Equipment Design Study. Volume 1.

Abstract

This study presents a design concept for the Army User Equipment (AUE) Navigation Satellite Positioning System. The equipment which has been studied consists of a sequential or timeshared receiver, a digital computer, the necessary input/output consoles, the power supply, and antenna system. The study concentrates on analyzing the anticipated effects of such real world phenomena as satellite masking, foliage, attenuation, jamming, and user dynamics. The study presents a viable sequential receiver design along with requirements for the computer, power supply and antenna for both the ground (manpack and vehicle) and the helicopter user categories. The study shows that, in general, the receiver design postulated is adequate for the missions and user requirements considered. (Author)
