ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for transferring alignment (attitude) from a land navigation system (LNS) mounted on a carrier vehicle to another structure such as a missile launcher or a radar station. The invention also embodies a scheme for verifying the accuracy of the transfer concept. The essential feature is a mechanical interface between the protable element of the LNS and the housing of the receiving structure. The interface is accomplished through two rods attached to the LNS portable element and two mating V-groove parts attached to the receiving element housing. The scheme is simple, rugged and inexpensive and is different from other methods in that alignment is transferred mechanically via the rod/V-groove mechanization.
