What is a Bearing-Distance-Heading Indicator?

A Bearing-Distance-Heading Indicator (INDICATOR,BEARING-DISTANCE-HEADING) is an indicator that displays data for the determination of the angle between a target and a fixed reference point, the spacing between two or more points in scalar values, and the angle between a point such as magnetic or true north and the longitudinal axis of the aircraft, ship, or ground vehicle in which it is installed.

What is a Course Indicator?

A Course Indicator (INDICATOR,COURSE) is an indicator that displays the angular value, measured clockwise, between true north and a line connecting the points of origin and destination over which an aircraft, ship or ground vehicle travels.

What is a Radio Navigation Receiver?

A Radio Navigation Receiver (RECEIVER,RADIO NAVIGATION) is a receiver used for reception of radio frequency electromagnetic wave transmitted through space. See RECEIVER as modified.

NATO Supply Class 5826 is a classification for Radio Navigation Equipment, Airborne. It falls under NATO Supply Group 58, which is dedicated to Communication, Detection, and Coherent Radiation Equipment.

Radio Navigation Equipment refers to devices used for navigation purposes, specifically in airborne applications. This equipment utilizes radio signals to determine the position, direction, and altitude of an aircraft. It plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate and safe navigation during flight.

Airborne radio navigation equipment includes various systems such as:

1. VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR): VOR is a short-range radio navigation system that provides aircraft with directional information. It uses a network of ground-based transmitters to emit signals that aircraft can receive and interpret to determine their bearing relative to the transmitter.

2. Instrument Landing System (ILS): ILS is a precision approach system used for landing aircraft in low visibility conditions. It consists of two main components: the localizer, which provides lateral guidance, and the glide slope, which provides vertical guidance.

3. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS): GNSS is a satellite-based navigation system that provides positioning, navigation, and timing services worldwide. It includes systems such as GPS (Global Positioning System) and GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System).

4. Distance Measuring Equipment (DME): DME is a radio navigation system that measures the slant range distance between an aircraft and a ground-based station. It provides accurate distance information, which is essential for navigation and approach procedures.

These are just a few examples of the radio navigation equipment used in airborne applications. The NATO Supply Class 5826 encompasses a wide range of devices and systems that contribute to the safe and efficient navigation of aircraft.

In summary, NATO Supply Class 5826 for Radio Navigation Equipment, Airborne, is a classification within NATO Supply Group 58 for Communication, Detection, and Coherent Radiation Equipment. It includes various systems and devices used in airborne applications to ensure accurate and safe navigation during flight.

FSC 5826 Radio Navigation Equipment, Airborne - Germany (DE)

Includes Loran Equipment; Shoran Equipment; Direction Finding Equipment.

Note-Excludes oscillator items which should be classified in FSC 5955 or 5963; fiber optic items which should be classified in Group 60; electronic modules as defined under Class 5963; and electrical cable, cord and wire assemblies, harnesses and sets, related to FSG 58 equipment (see FSC 5995). In Group 58, more than in any other group, it frequently happens that the same name is listed as an index entry in each of several classes. In addition, that name may also appear as an entry in groups other than 58. Each such entry refers to a distinctly different part or assembly, even though the different items have the same name. The listing of the same names in two or more classes indicates that, in one form, the part or assembly covered by the name is applicable to the equipment covered by one class, and in another form is applicable to the equipment covered by another class. For example, the item name CODER, AUDIO FREQUENCY is applicable to two distinctly different assemblies, one of which has an application in cryptologic equipment, covered by Class 5810, and the other in radar equipment covered by Class 5840. Consequently the name CODER, AUDIO FREQUENCY is an entry under each of the two classes. When an item identification bears a name which is indexed under more than one class of Group 58, or in Group 58 and in some other group, the item will be classified in the same class as its next higher assembly in the manner described in the Federal Logistics Information System (FLIS) Procedures Manual, DoD 4100.39-M. Also excluded from this group are data transmission and communications equipment such as terminals, sensors and other devices designed for use with a configuration of ADPE.
