Investigation of Various Navigation Systems that would be Compatible to the TASES Aircraft.

Abstract

TASES (Tactical Airborne Signal Exploitation System) will modify the basic S-3A avionics system to perform an open ocean fleet support electronic mission. Navigation of the aircraft will be performed by the pilot using systems that were designed for an ASW mission and dual piloted aircraft. The addition of an automatic Omega tracking receiver would ease the burden of navigation in the event of primary system failure. The pilot/navigator would be provided a reliable and accurate world-wide fixing device that would augment the basic navigation system. A relative fixing scheme could also be incorporated, using the Omega system that would provide accurate ranges and bearings of reported targets at distances exceeding 250 nautical miles.
