JCAS data link: a prioritized approach to terminal attack control by Davis, Perry H. / FA Journal This is not a technical term for a magnetic compass, for north-seeking modules rely on electronics to provide a north indication accurate to within one milliradian, far better than could be accomplished by the most refined magnetic compass that could always be deflected by nearby metal objects such as vehicles.
