Proposed New Type of Ranging and Homing System
Abstract
The need for a new Naval Aircraft homing system that will give the pilot range and azimuth indications is becoming very acute with the ever increasing and changing use of Naval air tactics. The system now in use does not give sufficiently accurate azimuth indications, does not give any range indications, and is not adequate from a standpoint of security. This report describes, briefly, a new proposed type of aircraft ranging and homing system which incorporates the above features which are not available in the present system. This system will require a number of new circuits but no major difficulties are expected in the design or construction of these circuits. It is recommended that this system be thoroughly investigated to determine its potential possibilities for future use in Naval aircraft.
