Radio Navigation Systems
Radio Navigation Systems are technologies that use radio waves to determine the position and movement of objects, such as aircraft and ships. These systems transmit signals from ground stations or satellites, which are then received by navigational equipment on the vehicle. By analyzing the time it takes for the signals to travel, the system can calculate the object's location accurately.
Common examples of radio navigation systems include Global Positioning System (GPS) and VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR). These systems enhance safety and efficiency in transportation by providing real-time location data, helping users navigate through various environments, including air and sea.
