A Study of the P-3C Omega Navigation System.

Abstract

This thesis is a study of the Omega navigation system as currently implemented in the P-3C aircraft. The possibility of using a microcomputer to solve the internal processing functions is investigated. Data flow graphs were applied to the velocity and navigation processing function in the Omega system. These graphs assisted in the development of the PL/M code which implements the function. The four PL/M subroutines that were written can compute the velocity and navigation equations in sufficient time and with sufficient accuracy to encourage additional research into a microcomputer implementation of the remaining internal functions of the Omega system.
