Manufacturing Services


WRSystems provides design, process and test engineering services, component sourcing, procurement, manufacturing and distribution services as well as after sales support including product repair, refurbishment, warranty coverage and complete logistics services. Examples of products we produce for our customers include:

  • AN/WSN-8 Digital EM Log (DEML)
  • Digital Depth Detector (D3)
  • MK 6 Mod 5 Digital Dead Reckoning Tracer
  • Ring Laser Gyro Navigator (RLGN) System Enhanced Control Display Unit (CDU)


AN/WSN-8A Digital Electromagnetic Log Indicator Transmitter
The Electromagnetic Log (EM Log) is a component of the conventional navigation system photo of AN/WSN-8A used aboard naval surface ships and submarines. EM Log operates in conjunction with a hull-mounted sensor to measure ship's speed relative to the water and distance traveled from a given starting point. The AN/WSN 8-A is a microprocessor-based system with ISA bus backplance architecture and Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) components. The AN/WSN-8A reduced calibration time and simplifies maintenance requirements by offering features such as menu-driven calibration modes and modular level fault diagnostic test. The AN/WSN-8A also offers accuracies of 0.05 knots for speeds ranging from 0 to 99.99 knots as well as a response time tuned to match the EM Log for ideal Inertial system performance.

Digital Depth Detector
The Digital Depth Detector (DD2) is a component of the conventional navigation system used aboard submarines. The DD2 is an extended range depth sensing system that provides actual depth information to depth control systems and other instruments. Photo of Digital Depth DetectorThe Digital Depth Detector (AN/BSN-2) has been developed to be a footprint replacement for the DD2. The AN/BSN-2 is a microprocessor-based system with Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) components. The AN/BSN-2 provides depth information through two dual-speed synchro interfaces, via an NMEA-0183 depth message. Additional information including operational status, system health, data validity, depth velocity, and depth acceleration is also available. The AN/BSN-2 reduces calibration time and simplifies maintenance requirements by offering features such as menu-driven calibration modes and modular-level fault diagnostic tests.

MK 6 Mod 5 Digital Dead Reckoning Tracer
The MK 6 Mod 5/5A/5B Digital Dead Reckoning Tracer (DDRT) serves as a component of the Conventional Navigation system used aboard U.S. Navy surface ships and submarines. The DDRT graphically records Own Ship Dead Reckoning tracks, computes and displays Own Ship Position (OSP) through digital displays for Latitude and Longitude. Photo of Digital Dead Reckoning Tracer The DDRT is also used to plot contact relative to OSP. The MK 6 Mod 5 DDRT is a micro-processor-based system that utilizes a standard electronic module architecture. The MK 6 Mod 5 DDRT improves reliability, simplifies maintenance and overcomes equipment obsolescence. It provides a resolution of 1/525 inch and 1/180 inch on lead and cross screws, respectively. The MK 6 Mod 5A/B DDRT eliminates the Dead Reckoning Analyzer, Dead Reckoning Analyzer Indicator and DC power requirements. The MK 6 Mod 5 DDRT utilizes a digital interface for MIL-STD-1397 Type A NTDS Interface.

Ring Laser Gyro Navigator (RLGN) System Enhanced Control Display Unit (CDU)
The IP-1747/WSN Enhanced CDU is the central navigation distribution system currently installed on SSN 688 (LOS ANGELES) and SSN 21 (SEAWOLF) Class submarines, with future installations planned for SSN 774 (VIRGINIA) and SSGN 726 (OHIO) Class submarines. photo of Ring Laser Gyro Navigator System Enhanced Control Display Unit The CDU receives data from the RLGN, the embedded GPS receivers, and the conventional navigation sources. Data is distributed via network and point-to-point interfaces to the Combat Control System (CCS), sonar, radar, and other network users. The CDU provides an alternate Man-Machine Interface (MMI) with the RLGN to allow users a remote monitoring capability to receive, distribute, and log super channel data. WRSystems provides engineering, technical, and logistics support for the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Navigation In-Service Engineering Agent’s CDU project.

Innovative Fiber Technologies by WRSystems

Recent advances in abrasive technology have allowed Innovative Fiber Technologies™ (IFT) at WRSystems to introduce a range of new polishing product designs that deliver superior polishes, low loss, and reduced glass breakage resulting in greater connectivity yield while reducing labor and consumables cost. WRSystems has developed an abrasive polishing cloth for fiber optic connectors. Benefits of this cloth include:
  • Low-loss connections (1/3 the loss of current industry standard)
  • Thin cushioning latex layer prevents glass breakage
  • Reduced labor cost
  • Reduced consumables cost
  • Works with all types of epoxy
  • Approved for use with MIL-STD-2042
