Propagation Limitations of Navigation and Positioning Systems
Abstract
In order to assess the requirements for navigation and positioning systems, the current status of these systems, and the limitation the propagation medium places on systems in being or planned, the AGARD EPP held a Specialists' Meeting in Istanbul, October 20-22 1976, on this subject. The concept of the meeting was to outline requirements and progress in systems and to plan programs for future studies to reduce any propagation limitations on navigation systems. Accordingly, the meeting reviewed various subjects including civilian requirements for sea, air and ground navigation systems both short and long range, and propagation study needs of Loran C, Omega, NAVSTAR, and Aerostat. In addition, requirements for other systems were outlined and possible propagation problems discussed. Proposed future research and development programs was the subject of a round table discussion. The aim was to mitigate the propagation problems that systems will and have encountered.
