Navigation System Certification (NAVCERT)
Abstract
NAVSEAINST 9420.4 dated May 02 requires that a Navigation System Certification (NAVCERT) be performed for all initial installation/new construction, major overhaul/modification/repair when it is determined to impact the accuracy of navigation data, changes to the navigation baseline configuration, greater than six months ship availability, or elapsed time of more than five (5) years since previous NAVCERT. These project funds assessments are in support of NAVCERT associated with modernizations and/or new capability upgrades. A NAVCERT certifies to NAVSEA, Ship Program Managers (SPMs), Type Commanders (TYCOMs), and the Fleet that shipboard navigation systems are: properly installed and in good physical condition, operating to specified accuracy and requirements. A NAVCERT certifies ship electronic charting capability and verifies the accurate transmission of navigation data to combat and weapons systems. A successful NAVCERT is required for Warfare Systems Certification Decisions (WSCD), TOMAHAWK Weapons System (TTWCS) Certifications, Precision Approach Landing Systems (PALS) Certifications, and Electronic Charting and Display System-Navy (ECDIS-N) Certification.
