(9) Mechanises the navigation propagation equations so that they can be integrated at the rate
required by the host vessel combat system (up to 10 Hertz) but with a minimum rate of
at least 1 Hertz.
(10) Accepts and incorporates SPS differential corrections and pseudolite signal information
as well as the L1 and L2 signals received from GPS satellites.
(11) Operates with a Fixed Reception Pattern Antenna
(12) References the navigation solution to a point identified by stored information when
attitude data is available.
(13) Stores critical data items in non--volatile memory to protect against loss due to power
disconnection. The data stored is that required to support rapid restart of the system when
prime power is applied.
(14) Accepts initialisation data from a data loader module. The KH 1020 includes an RS422
data loader interface which provides for transmission of waypoint and routing data,
antenna offset data, User Defined Datum (Datum 20) parameters and ship unique
parameters as required.
(15) Supplies a status message, including a Figure of Merit (FOM), which is continuously
available for display and is based on: navigation mode, receiver operating states,
navigation algorithm statistics and GPS sub--system status derived from the continuous
Built--In--Test facilities.
(16) Displays the elapsed operating time of the system.
(17) Performs two types of BIT. Built in test falls into two categories:
a. On line monitoring.
b. Off line test which is performed at power--up or at the request of the operator.

L2 C/A ---166 dBW ---150 dBW
L1 P ---163 dBW ---150 dBW
L2 P ---166 dBW ---150 dBW
Signal Acquisition
19 Depending on the accuracy and currency of initial PVT estimates available and the availability
of current almanac and ephemeris data, the GPS system is capable of executing:
(1) A Hot Start,
(2) A Normal Start, or
(3) A Cold Start.
Hot Start
20 A Hot Start is executed when the GPS system is authorised has resident, current almanac and
ephemeris data and the position, velocity and time uncertainty estimates enable direct acquisition of the
P--code signal (State 2). A Hot Start may be executed when the position, velocity and time estimates are
within the following limits:
(1) The initial three standard deviation position uncertainty is less than 10 km;
(2) The velocity uncertainty is negligible;
(3) The one standard deviation time uncertainty does not exceed 10 seconds;
(4) The vehicle acceleration is negligible; and
(5) Vehicle jerk is negligible.
Hot Start Time
21 The Hot Start Time (REAC2) is defined as the elapsed time from GPS system switch--on until
the first display/output of present position, velocity and time derived from measurements to four GPS
transmitters using the P--code and current ephemeris data for the environmental conditions. REAC2
includes the following:

Original Page 5
KH 1503
Sect 1, Chap 2

(1) Time for equipment stabilisation;


(2) Direct acquisition of at least four satellite signals;
(3) Satellite data demodulation;
(4) Ionospheric correction;
(5) Present position, velocity and time calculations; and
(6) Data display and output.
22 The probability of success exceeds 0.90 and the position solution error does not exceed the values
detailed in Paragraph 31. REAC2 does not exceed 7 minutes.
Normal Start
23 A Normal Start is executed when the GPS system has resident, current almanac data and the
initial PVT uncertainty estimates are such that the GPS system must proceed first with C/A--code
acquisition and tracking (State 1) before handing over to P--code navigation (State 5) if authorised. A
Normal Start may be executed when the initial PVT estimates are within the following limits:
(1) The three standard deviation position uncertainty is less than 10 km,
(2) The three standard deviation velocity uncertainty is less than 75 m/sec throughout
acquisition,
(3) The one standard deviation initial time uncertainty is less than 20 seconds,
(4) Vehicle acceleration is less than or equal to 10 m/s2,
(5) Vehicle jerk is less than or equal to 20 m/s3.
Normal Start Times
24 The Normal Start Time (REAC1) is defined as the elapsed time from GPSUE switch--on until
the first display/output of present position, velocity and time to the accuracy requirements of para 31.
REAC1 includes:
(1) Time for equipment stabilisation.
(2) Normal acquisition of at least four satellite signals.
(3) Satellite data demodulation.
(4) Ionospheric correction.
(5) Present position, velocity and time calculations.
(6) Data display and output.
25 REAC1 does not exceed 7 minutes.
Cold Start
26 A Cold Start is initiated when the GPS does not have valid satellite almanac or ephemeris data
for at least one visible satellite or when no valid time estimate is available. During Cold Start, the GPS
system uses ‘Search--the--Sky’ techniques to acquire a visible satellite signal, read the current almanac
data and update the time estimate. After almanac data has been collected, the GPS system changes state
to a normal acquisition sequence (State 1).
Time To First Fix
27 The Time To First Fix (TTFF) is defined as the elapsed time from the initial demand on a GPSUE
that has been switched on for longer than 5 minutes, to the subsequent display/output of present position
and time with the accuracies specified in Paragraph 31. Probability of success exceeds 0.90.

Page 6 Amdt 1 (Oct 00)


KH 1503
Sect 1, Chap 2

TTFF1
28 TTFF1, associated with receiver operating State 1 (P--code acquisition via C/A code), does not
exceed 2 minutes.
TTFF2
29 TTFF2, associated with State 2 (direct P--code acquisition), does not exceed 2 minutes.
Tracking Reliability
30 After State 3, 4, or 5 operation has begun, the GPS system maintains the receiver operating state
with a probability of 0.95 (measured over at least 100 seconds).
Effect of Host Vessel Interfaces
31 The degradation of PVT data available at the digital interfaces, as a result of those interfaces does
not exceed that specified in Table 4 when compared with the GPS Time Mark Data Block from the
Instrumentation Port.
TABLE 3 --- EFFECT OF HOST VEHICLE INTERFACES.

Multipath Signal Discrimination


32 The GPS system receiver has a minimum to maximum range search acquisition strategy to
enhance the acquisition and tracking of the most direct signal.
Channel to Channel Pseudo range Bias
33 The GPS system provides a means of measuring any pseudo range bias between tracking
channels. Any calibration error is no more than 0.3 metres between hardware channels when they are
tracking the same satellite signal.
Stationary Mode
34 The GPS system provides for an operator entered Stationary Mode to enhance acquisition and
navigation performance. This mode is defined as an operator entered mode to indicate the host vessel
is not moving with respect to the earth’s surface.
Selective Availability/Anti--Spoofing
35 When the GPS system is fully authorised it meets all the performance requirements defined here
in regardless of the state of selective availability and anti--spoofing functions of the satellites. If the GPS
system is not authorised, it continues to function at a reduced accuracy - determined by the level of
selective availability and anti--spoofing. The Figure Of Merit indicates to the operator and host vessel
systems the accuracy degradation caused by the SA/A--S.

Power Interruption
36 After a seven second interruption of prime power, the GPS system, within 90 seconds of
resumption of operation, re--establishes the tracking states it had prior to the interruption.

PREFERRED WEAPON MAINTENANCE CONDITION DURING SHIP UPKEEP


PERIODS
Assisted Maintenance Period
15 A ‘Keep--alive’ policy should be followed as far as is practicable to maintain the integrity of the
equipment, all its supporting services, and its immediate environment, so that it may be operated as
required to carry out all routine maintenance and performance tests. The equipment may be left in the
unprotected state.
DED/Capability Upgrade Period (CUP) (up to 32 weeks)

Pre--DED trials
16 None required.

Non--operational period
17 The (below--decks office) equipment shall be kept in the OFF condition in the unprotected state.

Post--DED Trials
18 Routine performance checks only, as detailed in KH 1503, Volume 3, will be required.
Refits

Pre--refit Trials
19 Performance checks to Naval Weapon Harbour Trial (NWHT) standard, as detailed in KH 1503,
Volume 3, will be required.

Non--operational period
20 The object of requirements under the following conditions is to protect the equipment and to
minimise the work required to bring the equipment to the operational (post--refit) state:
21 General Requirements (if no extensive work required) - The equipment should be kept in the
”Preserved” state, fully protected in a sealed and dehumidified environment. The equipment should be
fully protected against contamination by dirt and by mechanical damage by use of fitted covers. If the
equipment is not in a humidity control zone, chemical desiccant containers should be fitted within the
protective covers. All units are to be closed and sealed and all openings are to be separately covered.
Equipment is to be electrically isolated. The equipment should be returned to the ”keep--alive” state (3
weeks prior to switching on) to enable it to be brought up to the Naval Weapon Harbour Trial (NWHT)
state by the end of the refit, and a NWHT conducted.
22 Extensive Work Required on the Compartments or on the Equipment - If work permits, all units
should be left installed. If units have to be moved due to defect work in a compartment then the minimum
disturbance of internal connections should be allowed to occur. Units should be removed, sealed in
polythene and stored ashore in a Relative Humidity (RH) controlled environment, away from the risk
of any damage. Any opening left in a cabinet or rack resulting from the removal of equipment is to be
blanked off and any loose ends covered and tied back.

Post Refit Trials


23 Full Setting--to--Work and a NWHT and NWST will be required as for initial installations.
Arrangements should be made to adopt an effective ”keep--alive” policy as soon as Setting--to--Work
commences. Equipment should be set--to--work to NWHT standard as soon as practicable.

REMOVAL OF MAJOR ITEMS DURING NON--OPERATIONAL PERIODS


24 No items are required to be removed during non--operational periods. However, the equipment
contains a rechargeable battery which will lose power after approximately two months. The unit will
lose stored configuration data and a full setting to work will be required when the vessel becomes
operational. See KH 1505 Chapter 2 GPS Basic Equipment Checks.
REPLACEMENT OF OBSOLESCENT ITEMS
25 Identification of obsolescent items with proposals for suitable replacement to be covered by a

CHAPTER 1 - GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM OVERVIEW


INTRODUCTION
1 The following paragraphs provide an overview of how a Global Positioning System works.
GENERAL
2 The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite based, radio positioning, navigation and time
transfer system that operates on two L--band frequencies, 1575.42 MHz (L1) and 1227.6 MHz (L2),
using spread spectrum modulation. Two navigation accuracy levels are provided as follows:
(1) Precise Positioning Service (PPS)
(2) Standard Positioning Service (SPS)
Precise Positioning Service (PPS)
3 The PPS provides the full degree of accuracy available from the system. Access to the PPS is
controlled by cryptographic techniques.
Standard Positioning Service (SPS)
4 The accuracy available from the SPS may be degraded through the use of selective availability.
RANGE MEASUREMENT
5 The GPS system uses a constellation of approximately 24 satellites in six separate 12 hour orbits
at an approximate altitude of 10,900 nautical miles to provide position information. To obtain a three
dimensional fix, the range from at least three satellites is measured simultaneously.
6 If the range to a single satellite is known it can be determined that position is somewhere on a
spherical surface centred on the satellite. The use of a second satellite determines that position lies on
a circle at the intersection of the two spheres (the two spheres must overlap if range measurements are
correct). The addition of a third satellite allows position to be obtained at the intersection of the three
spheres. Provided that the three satellites have a suitable geometric relationship the obtained position
is extremely accurate.
SATELLITE POSITION
7 The measurement of range to the satellites requires a knowledge of the position of the satellite
at the relevant time. A satellite in orbit continues in orbit and the parameters of that orbit change very
little over time. The satellite orbits are continuously monitored by the U.S. Department of Defence.
These orbital parameters are transmitted to the satellites from ground stations situated in various suitable
locations around the world. The position of a satellite may be determined from anywhere in the world
by monitoring the satellite’s position transmissions. Each satellite is given the orbit details of the other
satellites, enabling a GPS receiver to determine the position of all satellites by receiving a signal from
just one. Most receivers store this information in non--volatile memory so that there is no need to receive
and decode any transmissions before the best satellites to use are determined.

Original Page 1
KH 1503
Sect 2, Chap 1

RANGE CALCULATION
8 The range to a satellite is calculated by measuring the time taken for a radio signal to travel
through space (approximately 300,000 kilometres per second) from a known transmission time to the
point of arrival. The GPS system uses a synchronisation technique to determine the time of transmission.
All satellites and receivers attempt to simultaneously generate the same series of digital codes to form
a message. A message arriving at a receiver is compared with the internal code history in the receiver.
If a match is found with the receiver code history of the previous half second the receiver can determine
that the signal has taken half a second to reach it. The greater the distance from the satellite to the receiver
the larger the time difference. Receivers generally use high speed correlators to rapidly assess the time
differences for the various satellites. In order to avoid any ambiguities the code used to modulate the
satellite and receiver signals is designed not to repeat for seven days.
RANGE ACCURACY
9 The modulation of satellite signals is divided into short time increments known as chips. The
receiver correlation process cannot discriminate the time difference to a resolution better than a single
chip. The selection of a shorter time interval for each chip (a higher modulation frequency) would cause
the receiver to take longer to correlate the incoming signal. The GPS system overcomes this difficulty
by modulating the L1 signal with two pseudo random codes; the Coarse/Acquisition or C/A code at 1.023
million bits per second and the Precision or P--code at 10.23 million bits per second. The P--code signal
has a much longer repetition time and may be encrypted to prevent unauthorised use and to help prevent
spoofing of the signal by re-- transmitting old GPS data. The P--code can be correlated rapidly because
of its relationship with the C/A code. The L2 signal is modulated with P--code only.
RANGE ERRORS
10 The simple model described is subject to a number of errors. The most significant of these are:
(1) Ephemeris errors
(2) Ionospheric Propagation Delays
(3) Clock errors
(4) Receiver errors
Ephemeris Errors
11 Ephemeris errors produce an incorrect calculation of the position of the satellite and are
minimised by continuous monitoring of the constellation. Satellite orbits are constantly checked to
provide updates to the satellites using S--band transmissions from the ground stations.
Ionospheric Propagation Delays
12 Ionospheric propagation errors are the result of the signal travelling at different speeds and
appearing to bend when they pass through the earth’s atmosphere. The assumption of the speed of signal
transmission is therefore invalid and the perceived range is incorrect. The effect on the propagation
speed is a function of the frequency of the signal. Thus the use of two different frequency signals allows
the effect to be calculated and therefore minimised.

Page 2 Original
KH 1503
Sect 2, Chap 1

Clock Errors
13 Clock errors give rise to an incorrect calculation of the signal arrival time. It can be assumed that
the satellite clocks are accurate because they are multi channel atomic clocks. The clock error is
therefore due to the receiver and will affect all range measurements by an equal amount. This clock bias
represents a fourth variable in the calculation to be made by the receiver. By including the range to a
fourth satellite in this calculation the receiver can solve the four simultaneous equations and produce
the three dimensional fix of position plus an accurate value of time.
Receiver Errors
14 Receiver errors are the result of errors in correlation, digitising errors and receiver noise causing
corruption of the GPS signal. In addition the logic in the receiver, which is used to determine which
satellites to use, may be at fault and cause a non--optimum geometry to be used.
DILUTION OF PRECISION
15 In a manner similar to the effect of geometry on a terrestrial fix, the GPS receiver may have to
use satellites which are not in the best position for obtaining a fix. As an extreme example consider two
satellites which are almost in the same line of site from the observer. The overlap of the range spheres
will be large and the accuracy of the fix will suffer. This reduction in the theoretical accuracy of the
system is referred to as the Geometric Dilution of Precision. Different receivers use different techniques
to determine the most suitable satellites to use but generally, the best geometry is the one where the lines
of sight to the four satellites form a tetrahedron with the greatest enclosed volume.

4 The screen displays the page title in the top left hand corner, the soft key menu at the foot of the
screen and page data in the middle of the screen.
POWER--UP
5 There are two levels of power--up as follows:
(1) Cold start (setting up)
(2) Warm start.
Cold Start (Setting--Up)
6 A cold start, performed at installation or when all critical data stored in the CDU has been lost,
requires the operator to perform the setting--up procedure detailed in KH 1505 Chapter 2.
Warm Start
7 A warm start is performed when the GPS system is powered--up with the contents of critical
memory valid. The GPS system power is applied via the local CDU rear panel ON/OFF switch. The
Local and Remote CDU displays are turned on via their front panel BRIGHTNESS switches. When the
CDUs are turned on the screens displays the power--on self test and then defaults to the OWNSHIP
DATA (Default Mode) page.
DEFAULT MODE
8 The CDU display defaults to the OWNSHIP DATA (Default Mode) page, shown in Figure 5,
when one of the following occurs:
(1) The BRIGHTNESS switch on the front panel is turned on
(2) The CLR key is pressed when in the main menu, a sub--menu or a function page (see note)
(3) After a period of time if no keys are pressed. The time--out period is selectable via the
TIME--OUT parameter in the Receiver Set--up page
NOTE: If one of the Ownship Data page modes, other than default mode, was in use prior to
the CLR key being pressed, the display defaults to the next highest Ownship page mode
which may or may not be the Ownship page default mode.

Quick Access Codes


10 The quickest way to access pages is by using the quick access codes shown beside the page titles
in Figure 2. The two digit code allows the user to move about pages without the need to return to the
main menu. The only limitation to this method is when numerical data is being entered. The quick access
code for each page is displayed alongside the page title.
Main Menu
11 Another means of accessing pages is via the Main Menu shown in Figure 3. The Main Menu is
displayed by pressing the F6 soft function--key when in the Ownship Data page Default Mode, or 00,
when in any other page. The Main Menu displays the sub--menu pages and their associated soft
function--key. The soft function--key menu at the foot of the screen highlights each sub--menu page.
Sub--menu pages are selected by pressing the appropriate soft function--key.
12 This page also shows the software identity and the case Elapsed Time Indicator (ETI). ETI is the
number of hours that the system has been powered since manufacture.

Arrow Keys
13 In the page level of operation the arrow keys are used to move around the page hierarchy, shown
in Figure 2, as follows:
(1) To move through the menu, sub--menu and function page levels use the UP and DOWN
cursor keys
(2) To move between the sub--menu pages or around the function page groups use the LEFT
and RIGHT cursor keys
CLR (CLEAR) KEY
14 The function of the CLR key depends on the mode or level of operation as follows:
(1) Pressing CLR in a Waypoint and Routing Database Support page, returns the display to
the page from which the support page was accessed
(2) Pressing CLR in the page mode returns the display to the page default mode
(3) Pressing the CLR key when in the main menu, a sub--menu or a function page defaults
the display to the OWNSHIP DATA page default mode (see note on page 2)
(4) Pressing CLR when entering data exits the data field and cancels any changes
(5) Pressing CLR in a HELP page returns the display to the page from which HELP was
accessed
ENTERING/EDITING PAGE DATA
15 Each page is defined by a set of parameters comprising one or more fields, which may be selected
or edited where appropriate. Parameters are selected by pressing the associated soft key highlighted at
the foot of the screen. Data is edited by:
(1) Using the keypad
(2) Using the soft function--keys where appropriate
(3) Using the the arrow keys as follows:
a. In the numeric and alphabetic data field use the left and right arrow keys to move
through data
b. In the tabular data field use all the arrow keys to move about tables
16 Edited data is stored by pressing the INJ (Inject) key. Pressing CLR when entering data exits the
data field and cancels any changes.
SOFT KEY OPTIONS
17 A ‘MORE’ soft key is displayed when there are more soft key options than can be displayed as
one set.
CONFIRMATION OF CRITICAL OPERATIONS
18 Certain operations require an extra level of confirmation before actions are carried out in order
to ensure that a single inadvertant key press cannot cause loss of data, e.g. if CLR is pressed to exit the
Ownship Data page Man--Over--Board mode, the message CONFIRM EXIT OF MOB MODE and two
soft function--keys labelled EXIT MOB and CANCEL appear to confirm or cancel the operation.

MASTER/SLAVE CONFIGURATION
19 One of the CDUs utilised in the system is designated as the Master CDU (normally the Local
CDU) and provides unique rights of access to certain system parameters and operating modes not
available to the Slave CDU (normally the Remote CDU). The CDU selected as master is indicated by
an ‘M’ located in the top right hand corner of the display. Either CDU may be configured to operate as
the master via the menus/soft keys on the Receiver Set--Up page.
20 At power--up the CDU that powers on first becomes the master. If the master CDU is turned off
via the brightness switch on the front panel the slave CDU becomes the master. If the slave CDU is in
the training mode and is made the master it automatically turns off the training mode. If the Remote CDU
is not fitted, the local CDU is always master.
21 Page parameters cannot be changed whilst being accessed by another user. Read only access is
provided for the CDU accessing data already attached to another user.
TRAINING MODE
22 Either CDU may be set up for training purposes via the Receiver Set--up page. The training mode
is indicated by SIM (Simulation) flashing at the top of the screen. When the training mode is selected
the other CDU becomes the master, if it is not already. If only one CDU is powered--up
the Training Mode is not available.
HELP
23 The action currently being processed by the user is provided with help text accessed via the
HELP key. The CLR key is used to exit the help mode and return the display to the condition it was in
prior to entering help.
BUILT IN TEST (BIT)
24 Background built in tests are run in each module at regular intervals. Any errors are flagged by
the message ERR flashing at the top of the current page. Serious errors also generate a warning message
indicating that position data is unreliable.
ERRORS
25 Errors are indicated by the word ‘ERR’ flashing on the display. The number of pending errors
is attached to the error indication. Full details of any errors flagged are available on the ERRORS page
(refer to Paragraph. 295). Error messages should initially be confirmed by running the interruptive self
test on the SELF TEST page (quick access 53).
ALARMS
26 Alarms are indicated by the word ‘ALRM’ flashing on the display. The number of pending
alarms is attached to the alarm indication. Alarm details are provided on the ALARMS page (refer to
Paragraph. 297).

vehicle numbers since the Receiver was last turned on, ie since its last warm start, and is indicated by
YES or NO appearing in the column.
USE
223 Accessed by pressing F1, this parameter, accessible on the master only, displays a list of entries
which indicate whether or not the satellite should be used to calculate position. Setting the parameter
to BAN completely bans the use of the satellite by the receiver. The master user may edit this list by using
the arrow keys to step through the table, and the soft keys to set the required entry. A limited number
of satellities may be banned.
BAN (F1) Set one USE entry to BAN

ALLOW (F2) Remove BAN from USE entry

ALLOW ALL (F3) Remove BAN from all USE entries

FORCE (F4) Force the use of the satellite.

224 The master user can force up to 4 satellites. The receiver will use the ”forced” satellites to obtain
the PVT solution.
NOTE: When the Receiver is turned on, all entries default to YES.
Almanac Age
225 This parameter indicates the age of the almanac date in days. A receiver, when switched on after
a long period, will attempt to track satellites for which almanac date is available. Data over 150 days
old may be inaccurate and a INIT may be more appropriate (Para 253).

TRAINING MODE
INTRODUCTION
A.1 The Training mode is entered via the TRAINING MODE soft function--key on the Receiver
Set--Up page default mode. When the soft key is pressed a confirmation request appears.
A.2 The Training mode is only available on the slave CDU. If a request to enter the training mode
is made on the master CDU the message ”MASTER STATUS WILL BE LOST” appears with an
associated confirmation prompt.
A.3 If only one CDU is powered--up it is not possible to enter the training mode. The training mode
is exited as follows:
(1) By pressing the EXIT TRAINING soft function--key on the Receiver Set--Up page
default mode page.
(2) By pressing the MAN--OVER--BOARD soft function--key on the Ownship page.
(3) When the Master CDU fails.
(4) When the Master CDU is turned off via the front panel brightness switch.
A.4 When the Master CDU is turned off via the front panel brightness switch, master status is
transferred to the slave CDU and training is automatically turned off. There is no other indication on the
CDU other than the letters SIM being removed from the status line and the Master Status indicator being
added.
A.5 In the Training mode some previously available function keys are blanked and not accessible.
In other cases the soft function--key legends change to include the letters SIM to remind the user that
the page is operating with a simulated position.
Setting Simulated Position and Track
A.6 On the Receiver Set--Up Position Initialise mode page the SIM POSITION/SIM DATUM, SIM
COMP HEADING and SIM LOG SPEED parameters show the simulated ship’s track to be defined. The
simulated position is updated as for a GPS position, ie every second using the vector defined by the
course and speed.
NOTE
Entering a high value for speed allows the simulator to proceed at a rate greater than real time.
Affected Pages
A.7 Pages where the simulated position is used instead of the GPS position are.

Ownship Data Page


A.8 The page modes are affected as follows.

Default mode

A.9 The position is simulated position and the STATUS and FIXING parameters show the letters
SIM. The CMG and SMG parameters are the same as the HEAD and LOG parameters, ie those entered
as the position vector.

Display Waypoint mode

A.10 Any previously defined waypoint may be chosen.

NOTE: The waypoints themselves are actually in the waypoint database and are not simulated.
Any waypoints defined in the training mode remain in the database.

Anchor Watch mode

A.11 Not available.

Freeze & Mark mode

A.12 The FREEZE soft function--key works as normal. The MARK POSITION function is not
available, but previously defined marks (ie non simulated positions) may be recalled.

Man--Over--Board mode

A.13 Pressing the Man--Over--Board soft function--key immediately exits the training mode and
provides the normal MOB functionality.

Route Steer Page


A.14 Any previously defined route may be used. END OF LEG and END OF ROUTE alarms include
the additional letters ”SIMULATION”.

Rendezvous Page
A.15 Any previously defined waypoint may be used. The appropriate rendezvous alarm includes the
additional letters ”SIMULATION”.

Receiver Set--Up Page


A.16 In the Position Init mode the POSITION and DATUM parameters define simulated ship’s
position at the current time, and the CMG and SMG parameters its heading and speed.
