OMEGA, A WORLD-WIDE NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM

Abstract

This report presents a design plan for a radio-locating facility providing world-wide position fixing of moderate (one-mile) accuracy by phase comparison of VLF (10 - 14 kc) continuous wave radio signals from only eight strategically located transmitting stations usable by aircraft, ships, and land vehicles, and by submarines at moderate (40 - 50 feet) antenna depths.
