Extract

Summary of a paper presented by Dr. Bowen, as President of the Australian Institute of Navigation, to a meeting of the Institute held on 15 June 1951.

Accounts of the work described in this paper have been separately published, many of them in this Journal. The paper, therefore, restricts itself to giving a summary of this work, referring the reader to the appropriate literature for further study, and to pointing to some of the outstanding landmarks over the last few years.

The work referred to has been carried out by the Radiophysics Division of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization in Australia and falls conveniently into two main headings, dealing with short-range aids to navigation and with air traffic control. It has been conducted for air navigation, but one at least of the navigation aids developed may find a useful application for maritime use.
