AN/SYQ-13 Nav/C2 system

The AN/SYQ-13 Nav/C2 system integrates the combat system and displays tactical information to assist the Commanding Officer and Tactical Action Officer in planning and execution of operations on MHC-51 class ships. The system integrates data from navigation systems with the ship's Doppler speed log and gyrocompass input to compute ownship position with the precision necessary for minehunting. It interfaces with the surface search radar and SQQ-32 sonar providing real-time updates and display of contact data on two color tactical displays. Information is displayed in both alpha numeric and graphical fashion representing ownship position, speed, known sonar and radar contacts, as well as intended and achieved track and coverage data. The system is designed around five 68020 processors presenting data on two tactical displays, two remote monitors, and a 36" x 48" plotter. Data for post-mission analysis is collected on a hard disk drive and magnetic tape.
