Self-Contained Vehicle Land Navigation Systems (V-NAV) Test II Report (V-NAV II)

Abstract

This report discusses the purpose, objectives, test methodology results and conclusions and recommendations for Self-Contained Vehicle Land Navigation Systems. Self-Contained Land Navigation Systems provide a continuous display of the vehicles' position defined in 8-digit UTM coordinates. A compass readout is also provided noting the vehicles heading. Self-Contained systems do not require any external signals or related equipment to operate, but are totally contained on the vehicle itself. The systems acquire heading input from either a magnetic compass, gyro or a combination of the two. Distance input is derived from the vehicle's transmission.
