Federal Radionavigation Planning
| Abstract: | u.s. Federal Radionavigation Planning took a new direction in 1978 with the passage of the International Maritime Satellite Communications Act. This act required joint Department of Defense and Transportation planning efforts to reduce and prevent unnecessary proliferation and overlap of federally operated radionavigation systems. The plan developed is the Federal Radionavigation Plan. The plan specifies that a joint department of Defense and Transportation recommendation for the post 1995 mix of federally operated radionavigation systems be published in 1983. The plan also requires that a national decision on the mix be published in 1986. The plan recommends phase out of overseas LORAN-e, TRANSIT and various other systems and leads the u.s. into satellite based radionavigation supported by the NAVSTAR GPS system. |
