Administrative Procedures and Agreements Governing Global Radionavigation

John M. Beukers

Abstract:	Worldwide radionavigation systems in use today have evolved over the past 50 years to meet common national and international requirements for transportation. This has been possible through the coordinated efforts of member states to international organizations. Today, the apparent urgency to apply advancements in radiolocation and communication technology is challenging the conventional, slow but me- thodical, international administrative machinery. In an at- tempt to speed up the regulatory process, some nations and organizations - driven by impatient special interests - are developing unilateral initiatives. This paper discusses the mandatory procedures that must be followed under United States law to become a signatory to an international agree- ment and reviews the current international agreements covering worldwide radionavigation systems.
