About Advanced Land Navigation System:
- It is a Ring Laser Gyro (RLG) based navigation system.
- It is used for traversing a path defined by the coordinates of a military map in ESM format.
- The system provides Inertial, GPS and Hybrid Navigation data for the navigation requirements.
- The system is spoof-proof with high levels of encryption.
- It can be operated in three different modes
- Inertial Mode: In this, systems operate completely on the Inertial Sensor Inputs.
- Hybrid Mode: It takes the inputs from an inertial sensor as well as GPS receiver and selects the most accurate data for calculations of navigational parameters.
- GPS Mode: In this, the system is independent of inertial sensor inputs.
- ALNS Mk-II is compatible with Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS), NAVigation using Indian Constellation (NavlC), in addition to Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS).
- The ALNS Mk-II offers compatibility with Defence Series Maps resulting in very high accuracy in navigational applications for AFVs.
- This equipment will be procured from Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), Chennai under Buy [lndian-Indigenously Designed Developed and Manufactured (lDDM)] category.
