The report is the Final Technical report describing the development and test of a Land Vehicle Navigator (LVN). The LVN is a completely self-contained and passive navigation system which can provide accurate UTM and heading information for many Army vehicles. Real-time position, accurate to 3% of distance travelled, is provided to the vehicle commander by continuously reading out and updating 8-digit UTM coordinates. A unique compensation scheme which corrects for magnetic disturbances affecting the compass provides automatic operation with no requirements for external equipment compass rose or knowledge of compass directions when calibration is required. Two LVN prototypes were designed, fabricated and tested for use with M113 and M151 vehicles. These systems are scheduled for MASSTER tests at Ft. Hood, TX in 4th Qtr FY 74. An additional effort to develop and design a technique to adapt this system to Army tanks has been successfully accomplished and is described in the Appendix of the report. (Author)
