Navigation Suite Flashcards

1
Q

Purpose

A

The purpose of the Navigation Suite is to collect ship’s attitude and positional data and distribute it to various weapons and navigational aid equipment. This is done IOT allow the weapons systems to create accurate fire control solutions and is required for the safe pilotage of the ship.
