Tracor Offering Paper

On Integrated

Navigation Systems

Tracor Instruments is offering free copies of a paper entitled "Integrated Satellite/Omega Nav- igation Systems." Presented at the 1980 RTCM Assembly in

Washington, D.C., the paper high- lights the advantages of combin- ing two unique, worldwide navi- gation systems.

Topics covered include the prob- lems a navigator will experience when using only Transit or the

Omega navigation system by it- self. The paper discusses the trade- offs of the various approaches available when integrating a Sat- ellite Navigator with an Omega

Navigator.

An integrated Satellite/Omega navigation system is one approach a shipowner may take to satisfy

U.S. Coast Guard rule-making with respect to ships sailing into the United States Coastal Con- fluence Zone.

For a free copy of this inform- ative paper, write to John L.
