Doppler Global Positioning System Navigation System (DGNS) Upgrade

Abstract

The DGNS Upgrade effort provides for the non-recurring engineering required to develop and qualify new navigation capabilities that meets emerging GATM navigation requirements and promotes safer flight operations. The DGNS Upgrade consists of engineering changes to the CDU and SDC avionics components of the DGNS. The 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 Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) capability and promote safer flight operations. The SDC Upgrade replaces the current GPS receiver to support Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) and GPS precision approach as well as implementing emerging GATM Area Navigation (RNAV) requirements.
