Abstract

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for transferring alignment (attitude) from a land navigation system (LNS) mounted on a carrier vehicle to another structure such as a missile launcher or radar station. A pair of rods are provided on the portable element of the LNS and a pair of V-grooves are provided on the receiving structure and on its housing on the carrier vehicle so that when the portable element is removed from its housing on the carrier vehicle, it will be in accurate alignment in the housing of the launcher.
