An automated solution for Omega navigation

Published:22 April 1976Publication History

ABSTRACT

Omega is a commercially available, electronic, world wide navigation system. Navigators and other Omega users generally determine geographic positions from Omega lane counts either by scaling charts and tabulated corrections or by a programmed iterative technique. This paper describes an algorithm which determines position directly.
