RADAR Nav systems?
Any of the RADAR Navigation systems that the aircraft had, our shop had to do the repairs on them. RADAR. TACAN (TACtical Air Navigation), the altimeters (radio based, not the barometric altimeters). Essentially the nav systems that transmitted or recieved.
The inertial nav system (doppler), was not ours. It didn't transmit, just relied on it's own thing.

this was pre-GPS, not sure which shop took over the GPS stuff when it came out.
