U.S. Navy Test Program for an ARINC 599 Omega Navigation System

Abstract

After original development by the U.S. Navy, Omega has been rapidly accepted by commercial aviation. This has resulted in the availability of off-the-shelf airborne Omega Navigation Systems. In turn, Omega systems developed for commercial aviation are now being adapted for use in Navy aircraft. Following a brief history of Navy interest in airborne Omega, system requirements that are unique to Navy applications are presented. Tests to verify suitability of an existing commercially available system, the Litton Aero Products Model LTN-211, for use in the A-3 and P-3 airplanes, are described.
