Abstract
The trends in air navigation, as indicated by military developments and current activity in the development of new aircraft for the airlines point to:
-
1.
Continued use of VOR/DME as the basic short-range (continental) navigation aid
-
2.
Inertial navigation systems (INS) as the primary long-range navigation aid and source of improved attitude and heading information
-
3.
Increased digital computation and control for navigation and aircraft flight management.
This paper discusses how the INS and digital computer can be used to complement the VOR/DME system to provide improved navigation accuracy and smoother operation in the VOR/DME environment.
