EC-47N with AN/ALR-34 ARDF

As can be seen here - the Navigator was given the

LOP (Line of Position) data from the X Console Operator

It was the job of the Navigator to determine the best "angle of attack"

or position of the aircraft to the signal and direction of travel

With the AN/ALR-34 System, all plotting and navigational work was done manually

Behind the Navigator in this photo can be seen the Y Operator

The Y Operator was an enlisted man who was the AMS (Airborne Mission Supervisor)

In front of the Y Operator was the Q1 or Z1 Console

Behind the Y Operator was the Q2 or Z2 Console

To the right of the Navigator is the X Console

This is a picture of the

EC-47P with AN/ALR-38 Mini Experimental System (Pleiku AB)

The AN/ALR-35, 38(Mini) & 38 had a Navigator Position

which had been updated to provide access to a computer

integral to the X Console

The periscope is visible in foreground to right of Navigator

Doppler Navigation was provided to the Navigator

Internal to the X Console was a "gray box" which provided the interface

between the on-board Dopler Radar System and the X Console

LOP's were automated to the extent that the line printer on the

Navigator's Console provided printing of those once the X Console

Operator "Locked On" to the signal

The MAP of the area was used by the Navigator along with the

UTM (Universal Trans Mercator) display on the read out on the box

on the lower left of the extended console as seen above (Red Lettering)

The left most box is the G-276B Demodulator

The right most box is the G-289 Tape Controller for the G-176F Recorder

The G-176 was located in the side of the cabinet facing the aisle

The top receiver is the G-175F - Tuners are 60-90MHz & 60-260MHz

The bottom receiver is the G-133F 100KHz - 30MHz
