Extract

This paper covers aircraft navigation with emphasis upon self-contained systems, although a survey of the scene cannot avoid reference to external aids. It traces briefly the evolution of self-contained systems since World War II to the present time and then attempts to forecast the way development appears likely to go in the future. The paper deals with both military and civil aviation because, in spite of the increasing importance of the latter, military navigation, as ever, leads the way to improvements for the future.
