Navigation Systems Division
If you are looking for information about Aids to Navigation
programs in the Auxiliary you are at the right
resource. We are assembling links to both the U.S.
Coast Guard and National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service
information web sites. Our goal is to make this web
site a one stop source for all you who may
want information about the National Aids to Navigation
program.
We also have links to
our unique programs for Auxiliarists like our National
“C” school, our cooperative Chart Updating program (CU
and SCF) with NOAA and our newly revitalized Bridge
Administration Program (BAP).
If you are interested
in our ATON, PATON, CU-Chart Updating, SCF-Small Craft
Facility Updating, and
BAC-Bridge Administration
Program, welcome aboard!

Overview: Aids to Navigation Chart Updating Program:
Qualified Auxiliarists and their facilities are authorized
assignment to
 duty
to support and augment the Coast Guard's Aids to Navigation
program. This includes verifying the location and characteristics
of private aids to navigation (PATONs), after qualifying as an
AV--Aid Verifier. Auxiliarists may assist and support Coast Guard
units in servicing Federal aids after receiving proper Coast Guard
training. Auxiliarists may also help the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the US Army Corps of Engineers
in updating nautical charts and publications. Training is available
in all five Auxiliary Aids to Navigation Programs - ATON - Federal
Aids, PATON - Private Aids, BAP - Bridges, and SCF - Small Craft
Facility Updating.
Note: The
maintenance and upkeep of lighthouses is one of the lesser known
tasks of Coast Guard Auxiliarists.
