NATO Supply Class 6605 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 66, which is dedicated to Instruments and Laboratory Equipment. Specifically, Class 6605 focuses on Navigational Instruments.

Navigational Instruments in this class are designed to aid in navigation and positioning. They are used in various applications, including maritime, aviation, and land-based navigation. These instruments are essential for determining the location, direction, and distance traveled.

Some examples of Navigational Instruments in Class 6605 include:

1. Compasses: These instruments help determine the direction by utilizing the Earth's magnetic field.

2. Sextants: Sextants are used for celestial navigation, allowing users to measure the angle between celestial bodies and the horizon.

3. Global Positioning System (GPS) Devices: GPS devices use satellite signals to determine precise location coordinates.

4. Nautical Charts: These are maps specifically designed for maritime navigation, providing information on water depths, navigational aids, and hazards.

5. Altimeters: Altimeters measure altitude or height above a reference point, such as sea level.

6. Depth Sounders: Depth sounders are used to measure water depth, commonly used in marine navigation.

7. Radar Systems: Radar systems use radio waves to detect and track objects, providing information on their distance and direction.

It's important to note that this is not an exhaustive list, and there are many other types of navigational instruments within Class 6605.

The NATO Supply Classification System is used to categorize and standardize items for procurement and logistics purposes within NATO member countries. It helps ensure efficient supply chain management and interoperability among member nations.
