AN/SSN-2 - Precise Integrated Navigation System
Comprising commercial hardware (SATNAV/GPS, Loran C, Hyper-Fix and a Doppler Sonar navigator), integrated and controlled by dedicated MCM software, this system provides the means to locate the ship and the target precisely. The system maintains and displays the ship�s track, and integrates the target mine information into the navigation plot. The computer-controlled navigation process can select the most accurate of the several navigational inputs available. The AN/SSQ-2 is installed in the MCM 1 Class only. The MHC 51 Class ships are equipped with a less complex system (AN/SYQ-13) similar to the Integrated Shipboard System/Fix/sonar-integrated system used in the MSO Class.
