When survey control is not available and time or the tactical situations preclude using existing survey control, the surveyor can use the AN/PSN- 11 or AN/PSN-13 DAGR to establish positioning data. SECTION I – PRECISION LIGHTWEIGHT GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM RECEIVER 9-1. The AN/PSN-11 PLGR (see figure 9-1) is a receiver. It is used in the GPS, standard positioning system (SPS), and precise position system. (PPS). Figure 9-1. AN/PSN-11 Precision Lightweight Global Positioning System Receiver GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM 9-2. The NAVSTAR GPS is a space-based navigation and positioning system that provides accurate, three-dimensional position and velocity information, and time. The GPS has three major segments as shown in figure 9-2 on page 9-2.
