What is Inertial Navigation Reference Track mode?


Recommended Posts

Posted

The pocket guide just says "Clicking on this PB sets the TPOD into Inertial Navigation Reference Track mode (INR). The pod displays the appropriate symbology and underlines INR. This PB is non-functional when INR is displayed"

 

But what exactly is it? I dont see any noticeable change in the data being displayed on the screen when switching between track modes.

Nevermind, found the answer.

 

For anyone else who is interested:

 

Inertial Navigation Reference Track Mode. The INR track mode is a TPOD IMU supported automatic back−up tracking mode for the EO sensor tracking system. Also, during the target tracking process, the pilot may find it necessary to select INR to drive the pod into the INR track mode if there is a chance the CCD track may be lost due to atmospheric conditions or physical LOS obstructions. In INR, the pod uses IMU data to track the target’s last known position and to maintain the pod’s LOS relative to the ground. When INR is selected, the pod underlines the INR legend above PB 19 and displaysINRbelowthereticle.Thepoddoesnot respond to PB 19 if INR is already displayed
