Functions Key There are four primary buttons used to access different menus on the PLGR: MENU, WP, POS, NAV If at any time you find yourself in a menu you are not familiar with, you can press the MENU, WP, POS, or NAV key to exit back to a main menu screen. MENU – allows you to update parameters in the PLGR WP – Waypoint and Route Menus POS – Displays current information on your position and satellites (SV) NAV – Allows you to choose from 4 methods of navigation from point to point. The MARK key allows the user to save his current location as a Waypoint. The next waypoint in sequential order not used will be chosen unless the operator changes it prior to saving the Mark. NUMLOCK – works great when entering grids in the waypoint menu. When numlock is ON an “N” is displayed in the lower right corner. When numlock is off, a “P” is displayed in the lower right corner. When using numlock, make sure to turn it off once you’ve entered your grid. Function keys such as WP, POS, NAV, MARK, ARROWs do not work when NUMLOCK is on. ARROW KEYS – Using the left and right arrow keys allows the user to scroll through options on the current page. Using the up and Down arrow keys allows the user to select or change the blinking option on the page. In order to scroll through pages within menus, use the right or left arrow until you see a set up arrows next to the “P” in the lower right corner. Then press the up or down arrow to scroll through the pages. You can also scroll through the four main menu pages by pressing the specific menu button consecutive times. (example: press the POS key one time, the first page of POS is displayed. Press the POS key a second time, the second page of POS is displayed)

Receiver Setup (MANUAL INITIALIZATION)
If the DAGR has been moved between two different geographical locations and is not performing correctly, the DAGR may need to be initialized according to the DAGRs current location. The following procedure describes how to initially set up the DAGR Present Position page fields and edit field content when: • DAGR is having difficulty obtaining a position fix. • Datum is mismatched with navigation waypoints. • Datum does not match the geographical map used. Serial Data Port (J2) - connect to a PC transfer setups, almanac data, waypoints, routes, initialization data and satellite data emulate PLGR screen on to a laptop or PC External Antenna (J3) – helmet, vehicle or aircraft antenna External DC Power Input (J4) – vehicle power or the AC-to-DC power adapter Caution: Before using external power, the PLGR power battery MUST be removed. Also ensure the grounding wire is attached to the battery post and not to the vehicle body for grounding. Otherwise, the power or memory battery may explode.

Receiver Setup (Manual initialization)

Acquire Current Position
The DAGR obtains current position by simply turning the DAGR on with an open view of the sky. While acquiring satellites, DAGR displays the SV Sky View page. After satellites are acquired, DAGR automatically transitions to the Present Position page with current position coordinates shown. An indication of when the DAGR has obtained current position is provided by: Position data fields of the Present Position page remain solid black text and do not blink. On the SV Sky View page, solid black horizontal bars indicate satellites being tracked and data is collected; and Navigating shows at the top of the display.

The POS page set contains commonly used pages and are described in the upcoming slides: Use the key or key to scroll pages.

24 Satellites in 6 orbits, 6-9 are in view SATELITE TRACKING – 1 SV will give you accurate time. 3 SVs are used to calculate your location. A 4th SVs will give your location and elevation. Your PLGR can track up to 5 SVs. It uses 4 SVs at one time, keeping the 5th in reserve in case one goes out of sight. The PLGR will automatically choose the best 5 SVs to track. You can de-select SVs manually if you choose. See the manual for instructions on how to do this Line of Sight System Note: SV = Satellite Variables received

..

Press 1 ON BRT to Turn the PLGR on. A Status Screen will flash on for a second then the last known position.

ADJUSTING BACKLIGHTING – To increase brightness press the ON and UP arrow simultaneously. To decrease brightness press the ON and DOWN arrow simultaneously.

WAYPOINTS A Waypoint is position information used to navigate through terrain, define routes or navigation alerts, mark present or remote positions, or marking observation points and landmarks. STS - self test summary GPS - good or <3 SV Note result of self-test Antenna and power source

Mark Present Position (WAYPOINT)
Manual reset when installing a new battery or edit fora used power battery

Mark Present Position (WAYPOINT/CONTINUED)
… The PLGR uses the most power when acquiring and tracking satellites. Changing the mode to standby (STBY) saves battery power. There are two ways to change to standby mode. press and hold the POS key. using the MENU, SETUP page a. Press the MENU key (1) Move the cursor and select the SETUP option (2) press right-arrow key to the MODE selection. (3) press down-arrow key to scroll down to standby (STBY) mode is displayed.

Create a New Waypoint Unless saved in memory using a good memory battery, the PLGR must be properly setup to receive accurate data. There are a total of 11 setup screen. We will only setup 5 screens for our purposes.

If the PLGR is really lost, or if the acquisition is taking over 15, then initialize the PLGR.

Create a New Waypoint (Continued)
Operating Mode (w/ mode description) CONT (Continuous) – the PLGR acquires and continues to track up to five satellites. Changes in position and velocity are continuously reported. This mode allows full and accurate position, time, track, speed, and steering information. This mode uses the most power. FIX (Quick Fix) – the PLGR acquires satellites and determines the present position, then automatically changes to STBY mode. This minimizing power usage. AVG (Averaging) – for surveying applications. The PLGR must not move. High accuracy. Improve performance in very low signal environment TIME – gives time for operator-entered or confirmed position (for SINCGARs or ANCD) STBY – PLGR accepts and displays keypad data, but does not acquire or track satellites. Used to reduce power consumption while reviewing or entering waypoints, setup values, etc. 2dTNG, 3dTNG & RHRSL – PLGR does not track satellites in these modes. It generates simulated position and navigation data for a moving scenario Satellite-Type mixed - susceptible to jamming and spoofing All-Y - uses encrypted signals only, not all SVs radiate an encrypted signal Note: SV = Satellite Variables

NAVIGATION (Operation)
Current position is necessary before accurate navigation can be accomplished. The GOTO WP function uses the DIRECT TO navigation method. Navigation information to the selected destination waypoint is automatically displayed using the NAV Pointer page. Position display format MGRS–New = Military Grid Reference System – New L/L-dm = Latitude/Longitude in degrees and minutes L/L-dms = Latitude/Longitude in degrees, minutes, and second Distance Units Metric - meters, kilometers, km/hr English - feet, miles, mph Nautical - yards, nmi, knots Elevation Units meter feet Elevation Reference MSL (Mean Sea Level) DTM (Datum) Angle Units Deg (Degrees) Mil- (Mils) Angle Reference Mag (Magnetic) Grid True

Waypoint GOTO Navigation
Magnetic variation is the east or west difference between True and Magnetic north. Magnetic Variation Type Calc (Calculated) – the magnetic variation is calculated at the present position using the World Magnetic Model (WMM). Entr (Entered) - the magnetic variation direction and value is entered by the user Wp (Waypoint) -the magnetic variation is calculated at the “TO” nav waypoint Magnetic Variation Units Deg (Degrees) Mil-µ (Mils) Deg min (Degrees/minutes) Magnetic Model and Issue Date Example given is WMM 1995 Mil-µ is a Gunner’s mil where 6400 MILS = 360 degrees

Waypoint GOTO Navigation (Continued)
NOTE: For waypoint selection sorting options, push the key. Select desired option then push the key. Elevation Hold Mode automatic – the PLGR automatically enables and disables the elevation hold in conditions of good or bad satellite geometry. manual – EL* is displayed when there is bad satellite geometry Time Reference Zulu Local (with offsets) Local time is Zulu time minus 5 hours Error Display Format FOM (Figure of Merit) – a number of 1 thru 9 which represents an increasing degree of error. For example, FOM=1 represents positional error of < 25 meters + meters

DATUM Abbreviation or Code (w/ DATUM Name) Automatic Off Time Limit – the amount of time the PLGR stays on after a position fix is obtained. Used to save battery power. only enabled when battery power is being used. off 5 min 15 sec 20 min A datum is a surveyed line or point that ensures all maps within a series will correctly match when placed edge to edge. 52 map Datum sets are available within the PLGR. PLGR datum should match the map/chart your operating with Turn automatic timer off, there is no memory battery in the PLGR If the PLGR turns off during the class all setup settings, almanac data, satellite being tracked, and waypoints will be lost.

PLGR Initialization / Cold Start – the ability to determine position, time, date, track, ground speed, and magnetic variation without operator input. A non-initialized PLGR will use internally stored data or perform a “search-the-sky” (cold start) acquisition. The average time for cold start acquisition is 6 minutes or less; maximum is 15 minutes. Standby – If the PLGR has recently been used (within a few days) and your current position is within a degree of where it was last placed into STBY mode. The PLGR will use last used tracking satellites to expedite positioning and tracking. ALMANAC DATA - This is the information the PLGR stores in memory so the next time it is turned on it will know where to look for the Satellites (SV). Each SV broadcasts the complete constellation almanac once every hour. This does not mean that you will need to operate the PLGR for at least one hour to get a good almanac. The timing is staggered around the SV's so that almanac data can be collected at all times. The PLGR starts to download this data when it acquires the first SV. It is a lot of information and takes a while before the PLGR will indicate it has a one day old almanac.

Waypoint Alerts Definition: Alerts are made up of one or more waypoints, and are used to notify the operator is approaching or leaving a point, line, or area of significance (e.g., radius distance from a waypoint, defining a line not to be crossed, mine field area). If the PLGR is really lost, or if the acquisition is taking over 15, then initialize the PLGR.

Waypoint Alerts (Continued)
Anchor – Circular area defined by a radius from a waypoint. Activates when outside a defined radius. Hazard – Circular area defined by a radius from a waypoint. Activates when inside a defined radius. Buffer Zone – Rectangular area defined by two waypoints. Prevents the user from entering a defined area. If the PLGR is really lost, or if the acquisition is taking over 15, then initialize the PLGR.

Corridor – Rectangular area defined by two waypoints. Prevents the user from exiting a defined area. Other alerts include – Area, Boundary Line/ Phase Line, Position Error, and Time/Date.

Each SV broadcasts the complete constellation almanac once every hour. This does not mean that you will need to operate the PLGR for at least one hour to get a good almanac. The timing is staggered around the SV's so that almanac data can be collected at all times. The PLGR starts to download this data when it acquires the first SV. It is a lot of information and takes a while before the PLGR will indicate it has a one day old almanac.

Data Clear can destroy mission critical data.
It’s much easier to mark and edit then entering a new waypoint # 3 is the next available waypoint number Pressing CLR/MARK saves current position as a waypoint Pressing ON/BRT cancels the marking operation

DATA CLEAR (Continued)

DATA CLEAR (Continued)
A waypoint is the location of a popint on the desired course. A normal mission consists of a series of waypoints. All waypoints are defined by position, altitude and map datum. Waypoints can be defined by range, azimuth, and elevation angle from present position or previously defined waypoint. 999 waypoints (numbered 001 thru 999) are available on the PLGR. Waypoint 000 is your present position.

EMERGENCY ZEROIZE Emergency zeroize clears ALL mission critical data.

..

CONCLUSION The DAGR is a great tool for navigation, but it takes training to ensure continued proficiency in the use of the device and still requires each soldier to understand military map and land navigation techniques.
