Land Navigation in North West Australia Utilizing Differential OMEGA

Abstract

Field trials were carried out in July/August 1980 to test the efficacy of Differential Omega for land navigation in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. To this end a base station was set up in Onslow and movements undertaken between the Onslow trig. station and similar survey marks at ranges of up to 400 km. This Technical Report describes the nature of the exercise and discusses the results obtained. Additionally, the diurnal phases of several Omega transmissions were recorded simultaneously in Perth and Adelaide during the return of the equipment to Salisbury. These records are subjected to a brief examination.
