Summary Technical Report of Division 13, NDRC. Volume 2B. Electronic Navigation Systems

Abstract

A descriptive and critical survey is presented of a number of electronic navigation systems developed during the war, both in the U.S. and in Europe. Some of the systems considered are or were operational during the war, while others are merely proposed. The principles underlying the three basic types of navigation systems are analyzed, and several systems are compared regarding their operational characteristics. Conclusions are drawn from this comparison. Recommendations are made for further research.
