The Rockwell Collins AN/ARN-147(V) is the United States Air Force Standard VOR/ILS Receiver, and is being installed in all USAF C-130, C-141, UH-1N, and C-5 aircraft.

The AN/ARN-147(V) system, consisting of a receiver, control, and mount, combines all VOR/ILS functions -- VHF omni-directional range, localizer, glideslope, and marker beacon receivers -- into one compact, lightweight, low-cost set. It is the first militarized VHF navigation receiver to offer optional internal MIL-STD-1553B capability. The all solid-state AN/ARN-147(V) system is MIL-E-5400 class II qualified. International operability requirements are met by providing 50-kHz channel spacing for 160-VOR and 40-localizer/glideslope channels.

The digital and analog outputs are compatible with the latest high-performance flight control systems, digital indicators, and analog instruments. Both high and low level deviation and flag outputs for VOR/LOC and glideslope are provided per RTCA conventions. The synchro instrument driver is designed to accommodate a wide variety of RMI impedances to simplify aircraft retrofit. Performance to meet the FM Broadcast Immunity requirements of ICAO Annex 10 is available with part numbers 622-6376-014, -015, -019, and -20, or as a depot retrofit for part numbers 622-6376-004, -005, -009 and -010. Modular construction techniques enable quick access to all cards and modules to reduce repair time. Faults can be readily isolated to a replaceable module, and the AN/ARN-147(V) can be supported in either 2- or 3-level maintenance concepts. The AN/ARN-144(V) provides higher TO/FROM indicator voltage, elapsed time indicator and receive only VHF Comm from 118 to 127.95 MHz with 50-kHz channel spacing. The VIR-130A part numbers 622-6376-009, -010, -019 and -020 provide unique analog deviation outputs for use in rotary-wing aircraft that use analog Command Instrument Systems (CIS) processors.
