FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Range-Azimuth Indicators AN/SPA-4, -4A, and -4B
provide PPI type presentations of target range and
azimuth when supplied with video and trigger signals
from any one of eight search radars. Azimuth is
determined by means of a mechanical cursor. The
target presentation is the result of two alternately
generated electronic sweeps -- the PPI sweep and the
cursor sweep. The PPI sweep is rotated through 360
degrees on the screen in synchronism with the
associated radar antenna, and the cursor sweep traces a
single, controlled radius. A spot-of-light range strobe
appears on the screen during the cursor sweep and can
be superimposed on any target in the PPI display, thus
permitting a highly accurate measurement of the target
range. Field changes to the AN/SPA-4 and AN/SPA-4A
provide an indication of true bearing which is
incorporated in the design of the AN/SPA-4B.

NOTES
1. This chart was formerly titled SUMMARY OF 3OINT NOMENCLATURE SYSTEM ("AN" SYSTEM) FOR
COMMUNICATION-ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT.
2. The system indicator "AN" does not mean that the Army, Navy, and Air Force use the equipment but simply
that the type number was assigned in the JETDS System.
3. In the JETDS nomenclature system, nomenclature consists of a name followed by a type number. The
type number will consist of indicator letters shown on this chart and an assigned number.
4. The type number of an independent major unit not part of or used with a specific set will consist of a
component indicator, a number, the slant and such of the set or equipment indicator letters as apply. Example:
SB-5/PT would be the type number of a portable telephone switchboard for independent use.
5. Requests for nomenclature assignments will be submitted on the Department of Defense Form DD-1 and
prepared in accordance with the item names and description patterns promulgated by the office of the Assistant
Secretary of Defense (Supply and Logistics).
MODIFICATION LETTERS
Component modification suffix letters will be assigned for each modification of a component when detail parts and
subassemblies used therein are no longer interchangeable, but the component itself is interchangeable physically,
electrically, and mechanically.
1A-5
Volume 1 of 2 MIL-HDBK-162A APPENDIX A
15 December 1965
Set modification letters will be assigned for each modification not affecting interchangeability of the sets or equipment
as a whole, except that in some special cases they will be assigned to indicate functional interchangeability and not
necessarily complete electrical and mechanical interchangeability. Modification letters will only be assigned if the
frequency coverage of the unmodified equipment is maintained.
The suffix letters X, Y, and Z will be used only to designate a set or equipment modified by changing the power input
voltage, phase or frequency. X will indicate the first change, Y the second, Z the third, XX the fourth etc., and these
letters will be in addition to other modification letters applicable. (For examples see MIL-STD-196B).
ADDITIONAL INDICATORS
Experimental Sets. In order to identify a set or equipment of an experimental nature with the development organization
concerned, the following indicators will be used with the parenthesis:
NOTE: *Not for Air Force use except for assigning additional developmental designations to
previously type designated items. Use XA for all new equipments.
1A-6
APPENDIX A MIL-HDBK-162A Volume 1 of 2
15 December 1965
Example. Radio Set AN/ARC-3( ) might be assigned for a new airborne radio communication set under development.
The cognizant development organization might then assign AN/ARC-3 (XA-1), AN/ARC-3(XA-2), etc., type numbers to
the various sets developed for test. When the set was considered satisfactory for use, the experimental indicator would
be dropped and procurement nomenclature AN/ARC-3 would be officially assigned thereto.
Training Sets. A set or equipment designed for training purposes will be assigned type numbers as follows:
1. A set to train for a specific basic set will be assigned the basic set type number followed by a dash, the
letter T, and a number. Example: Radio Training Set AN/ARC6A-T1 would be the first training set for Radio Set
AN/ARC-6A.
2. A set to train for general types of sets will be assigned the usual set indicator letters followed by a dash, the
letter T, and a number. Example: Radio Training Set AN/ARC-T1 would be the first training set for general airborne
radio communications sets.
Parenthesis Indicator. A nomenclature assignment with parenthesis, ( ) following the basic type number is made to
identify an article generally, when a need exists for a more general identification than that provided by nomenclature
assigned to specific designs of the article. Examples: AN/GRC-5( ), AM-6( )/GRC-5, SB-9( )/GG. A specific design is
identified by the plain basic type number, the basic type number with a suffix letter, or the basic type number with an
experimental symbol in parenthesis. Examples: AN/GRC-5, AN/GRC5A, AN/GRC-5(XC-1), AM-6B/GRC-5, SB-9(XE-
3)/GG. The letter V within the parenthesis is used to identify systems with varying parts list.
NOMENCLATURE POLICY
(See MILSTD-196B for Statement of Policies)
(a) Complete systems, subsystems, centrals, sets, groups, units (components), and subassemblies of
military design either definitive or variable in configuration.
(b) Material of either commercial or military design, which are grouped for a military purpose.
(c) Electronic materiel of military design which are part of, or used with, an end item not identified in the
JETDS.
(d) Commercial materiel requiring military identification for use by the U. S. Government.
(e) Electronic materiel of military design which are not part of, or used with, a set.
(a) Materiel cataloged commercially, except in accordance with commercial materiel requiring military
identification for use by the U. S. Government.
(b) Parts such as capacitors, electron tubes, and resistors, except if required to facilitate military
identification.
(c) Materiel having other identification in coordinated (joint) military specifications or type designation
systems.
1A-7
Volume 1 of 2 MIL-HDBK-162A APPENDIX A
15 December 1965
3. Nomenclature assignments will remain unchanged regardless of later changes in installation and/or
applications.
4. All officially assigned JETDS nomenclatures shall be unclassified in order to provide a ready means of
identification, in correspondence and other means of communication, in the clear.
Important. - All personnel are cautioned against originating or changing any part of any nomenclature
assignment, including modification letters, without authorization.
Signal Corps Nomenclature consists of a name and a type number. Example: Radio Receiver BC-301-A. The prefix
letters, such as "BC" in the above example, designate classes of equipment as shown in the following list. The suffix
letters, such as "A" in the above example, designate different versions or models of similar equipments.
In some cases, a nomenclature assignment with parenthesis, ( ), following the basic type number is made to identify
an article generally, when a need exists for a more general identification than that provided by nomenclature assigned to
specific designs of the article. Example: Radio Transmitter BC-325-( ).

Navy type designations are assigned to denote major units and also to most component parts likely to require
replacement during the normal life of the equipment involved. There are two systems of type designations the Numerical
System of Navy Type Designations, and the Alphabetical System of Navy Type Designations.
The Numerical System. In the numerical system the designation is composed of a Navy type number (e.g. 21426), a
group of prefix letters to indicate the manufacturer of the item (e.g. CZZ) and when necessary, a suffix letter. The prefix
letters and the Navy type number are separated by a dash to form the complete Navy type designation (e.g. CZZ-21426).
Once prefix letters are assigned to a manufacturer the same designating letters remain the permanent identification of
the company and shall precede the Navy type numbers of all mater1Al manufactured by him. Preliminary models of
major units are identified by a spec1Al description consisting of the Navy type number assigned for the corresponding
unit of the production equipment prefixed by the letter 'X" i.e, CRV-X52041. The numerical portion of the Navy type
designation is assigned in order of receipt of request, the last three of four numbers being the order, the first two being
the "class". The significance of the first two digits in each type number is shown in the table below.
The suffix letter is assigned to differentiate units of improved or different manufacture which are entirely
interchangeable as units but, due to difference in construction, are not necessarily interchangeable with respect to their
integral parts. The suffix letter is separated from the numerical portion by a dash. For example:
1. Navy Type -61046-A insulator is identical to 61046 except the glaze is changed from white to chocolate
color.
2. Navy Type -21426-A motor-generator set is identical to -21426 except that steel has replaced cast-iron
throughout.
The Alphabetical System. The alphabetical system, which is used for units pecul1Ar to radar equipments and
special apparatus, is analogous to the numerical system except the last three or four numbers of the numerical portion
are replaced with alphabetical letters starting with AAA and progressing alphabetically; such as, AAA, AAB, AAC --- AAZ,
ABA, ABB -- etc. Also, the suffix letter is replaced by a suffix number; the first modification being indicated by the
number "1", etc. A few examples of this system are CZZ-21AAA, CRV-46ABK, CRV-66ACY, CRV-66ACY-1, etc. The
fundamental principles governing the application of both systems of Navy type designations are the same.
1A-11
Volume 1 of 2 MIL-HDBK-162A APPENDIX A
15 December 1965
1A-12
APPENDIX A MIL-HDBK-162A Volume 1 of 2
15 December 1965
Items in the Navy Model Letter System are designated by two or three basic letters - sometimes supplemented by
prefix or suffix letters and/or numerals.
Equipments identical in all respects and purchased from the same contractor bear the same model designation.
Additional equipment obtained for service use by additional purchase is designated by a numeral following the original
model letters. For example, on subsequent orders for the Model TAQ transmitting equipment, the equipment is identified
by the designations TAQ-1, TAQ-2, etc. Additionally, if after acceptance by the Navy Department, the Bureau of Ships
authorizes a modification of the equipment, a lower case alteration letter is assigned to follow the model letters. For
example, if a Model TAB-1 transmitter is modified after delivery by the addition of a harmonic suppressing circuit or unit,
the model designation would be changed to a TAB-1A. An additional modification of the TAB-la or a modification of the
TAB-1 differing from the "a" modification, would be indicated by "b" and the equipment designated known as TAB-lb.
Equipments of an experimental nature are assigned model letters beginning with "X" if manufactured by a Naval
organization (e.g., XA, XB, etc.), or with "CX" if manufactured by a commercial company (e.g., CXA, CXB, CXAA, CXAB,
etc.)
Preliminary models of equipments, subsequently to become the property of the Navy, as required by the terms of a
contract or similar authorization are given an "X" prefix letter, separated from the basic designation by a dash. The
preliminary (test) model of "Model TBU" was therefore designated 'Model X-TBU." The Navy Model Letter series is shown
in the following table.
