CHAPTER 4
THE COMPUTER DISPLAY SET
AN/UYQ-21 (v)
INTRODUCTION
The Computer Display Set AN/UYQ-21(V) is installed on CV/CVNs, LHDs,
AEGIS, and New Threat Upgrade Platforms. Because the AN/UYQ-21(V) is a
modular system, its elements can be combined in a variety of configurations to
meet the mission requirements of the user. If the user’s requirements change, the
configuration can be changed with the addition of new elements.
In this chapter, you will learn about the basic configurations and functions of
the Computer Display Set AN/UYQ-21(V).
After completing this chapter, you should be able to:
State the purpose of the Computer Display Set AN/UYQ-21(V)
Describe the functions

Describe the function
switchboard (SDDS)
and operations of the central equipment group
and operation of the sensor data distribution
Describe the function and operation of the different types of display
consoles used in the AN/UYQ-21(V) system
Describe the function and operation of the television converter group
(TVC) equipment
The AN/UYQ-21(V) display system provides for the display of tactical
information to enhance combat systems performance. Three types of tactical
information can be displayed by the AN/UYQ-21(V) system. These are computer-
generated data, sensor data (radar, sonar, IFF, etc.), and television data. The
operators use this data for the following purposes:
Detection, tracking, identification, and evaluation of contacts
Assignment and control of onboard weapons systems
Assignment and control of other weapons systems (such as aircraft) via
radio and data links
