Abstract:	A navigation upgrade to the A-10 aircraft is described. A Collins RCVR-3A was installed into the aircraft and integrated with the existing LN-39 INS via Kalman filters implemented in a new Control Display Unit. The upgrade architecture is described, and results of testing summarized. Interaction of the upgraded navigation system with the weapons system computer is also discussed. Lessons learned from the integration are presented.
