Abstract:
Omega is a very low frequency VLF navigation system which will give world-wide coverage with eight stations when fully implemented. Using published skywave correction tables accuracies of 1 to 2 n.mi. are attainable. Through the use of differential Omega, correction information can be disseminated to users in the vicinity of a monitor site. Differential Omega accuracies are directly proportional to distance from the monitor site and are 0.26 - 0.5 n.mi. at 200 n.mi. from the monitor site. A system using U.S. Coast Guard radiobeacons as the differential information transmitter was proposed by Goodman and McKaughan. Their proposals were examined and improvements suggested. Two additional differential Omega systems being proposed by civilian contractors were also examined. Author
