2.3 AAQ Components
2.3.1 Navigation Remote Input Output Module (RIOM)
The NAV RIOM contains a GPS receiver and a 3 axis magnetic Compass. Depending on the model a 2-
axis inclinometer may reside within the NAV RIOM. The NAV RIOM (see Figure 2.3.1) is plugged into
the AAQ’s J2 harness and it is typically mounted on the back of the reflector at the topmost point
when deployed. At this location, the GPS antenna is afforded a good view of the sky, in order to
provide accurate location and pointing information.
