Abstract:

It is desired that techniques for the Omega navigation system be developed to permit its use in aircraft. Omega utilizes a hyperbolic grid of isophase lines established by VLF transmitters. It is characterized by very long range capability and potentially high accuracy. This third interim report is concerned with progress on the airborne receiver since the second interim report, NRL Memorandum Report No. 1029. Author
