Timation Development Plan

Abstract

Timation (Time Navigation) is a technological development program designed to study, identify and develop the critical components and make measurements necessary to describe a navigation system which meets JCS requirements. The purpose of the navigation system development plan is to describe the technical parameters, tradeoffs, experiments, and costs encompassing the implementation of a satellite position fixing and navigation system that meets the requirements promulgated by the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) Navigation Study Panel in 1968. This navigation system provides continuous all weather instantaneous readout to an unlimited number and variety of users on a worldwide basis. (Author)
