ARK-15M version 14

ARK-15M Automatic Radio Compass Overview

The ARK-15M Version 14 is an airborne automatic radio compass designed to determine the relative bearing to ground-based radio beacons and broadcast stations. It operates within the low and medium frequency bands and provides pilots with continuous directional information required for navigation and instrument flight operations.

ARK-15M Navigation Function

The system receives signals from non-directional beacons (NDB) and processes them to determine the bearing relative to the aircraft. The result is displayed on cockpit indicators, enabling accurate navigation and instrument approach procedures.

ARK-15M Aircraft Applications

The ARK-15M is used on helicopters (Mi-8, Mi-17, Mi-171) and aircraft such as MiG-29, Su-27, An-2 and Yak-52. It is applied in onboard navigation systems for route guidance and radio signal tracking.

ARK-15M System Configuration

The system includes receiver, antennas, control panel and indicator units. Version 14 differs by installation configuration and adaptation to specific aircraft electrical systems. Also known as ARK-15M, АРК-15М, Variant 14.
