Abstract

Omega is one of a wide range of navigational aids that have been developed and are in everyday use by ships and aircraft. By contrast, outside the military field as yet there has been no significant application of these aids to mobile land vehicles. The reason has been a mismatch between the perceived accuracy requirements of the potential user, what he is prepared to pay, and what technology could provide.
