EVALUATION OF THE NAVY NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEM AND THE OMEGA NAVIGATION SYSTEM.

Abstract

The paper summarizes the results of tests conducted aboard the USS GYATT (DD-712), during the period 9 through 16 September 1966. The Navy Navigation Satellite System (NAVSAT) and the OMEGA Navigation System were evaluated using precise RADAR fixes from the Wallops Island RADAR Tracking Station as a yardstick. NAVSAT and OMEGA fixes gave position differences less than 0.5 nautical miles and 2 nautical miles, respectively. (Author)
