navigation data, exchanges data with other interconnected
systems, and monitors the set’s performance. The
navigation mode allows the operator to enter mission data;
view position, velocity, and time data; and control the set’s
configuration.
The “self-test’’ mode allows the operator to perform a
complete test of the navigation set at any time. When the
set is in “test,” it will not track satellites.
The two major components of the AN/WRN-6(V) are
the R-2331/URN receiver and the indicator control C-
11702/UR. The other units (antenna, antenna amplifier,
and mounting base) perform functions similar to those of
similar units in other systems. For more detailed

AN/PSN-8( ) Manpack Navigation Set
The AN/PSN-8( ) operates similarly to the AN/WRN-
6(V), though obviously it is not interfaced with other
equipment. Shown in figure 1-14, each manpack contains
a receiver section and a computer section. The receiver
processes the rf signals from the satellites and sends the
satellite’s positions and times to the computer. The
computer uses the positions and times to find the satellite
set’s position coordinates, elevation, and changes in the
position of the manpack set. The time it takes for the set
to change position is used to compute speed. For more
detailed information on this navigation set. refer to the
information on this system, refer to the AN/WRN-6(V)
