Part of: ASN-123C Tactical Navigation System
Overview
The SENSO Control Unit is the Sensor Operator’s (SENSO) primary link to the TACNAV (Tactical Navigation) System. It allows the SENSO to send and receive navigation and contact data — working in coordination with the TACCO (Tactical Coordinator) to track and manage tactical information.
Location
Center of the Sensor Station
Purpose
The SENSO Control Unit acts as the communication bridge between the sensor systems (such as SONAR, RADAR, and Magnetic Anomaly Detection) and the TACNAV display. Through it, the SENSO can enter contact data.
Lighting & Indicators
When powered, the panel’s switch-indicators light up to guide the operator by providing continuous red legends and specific indicators to cue the SENSO to enter data.
