The Mace had been equipped with an " improved guidance system known as'ASTRAN'which is considered unjammable . " ( This was apparently a typo for ATRAN Automatic Terrain Recognition And Navigation terrain-matching radar navigation .)

With the advent of Doppler radar navigation and, more recently, GPS receivers, with other advanced navigation equipment that allows pilots to read ground speed directly, the TAS calculation in-flight is becoming unnecessary for the purposes of navigation estimations.

He was one of a group of a dozen navigators selected for training in H2X radar, a new form of radar navigation system developed by the British Royal Air Force, and returned stateside for instruction to Boca Raton, Florida in January 1944.

The landing craft have the ability to operate over-the-horizon, as they are equipped with radar navigation, GPS, gyro needle / magnetic compasses and HF communications equipment, VHF and UHF . This allows them to operate up to from their mothership.

The RB-50E was earmarked for photographic reconnaissance and observation missions; The RB-50F resembled the RB-50E but carried the SHORAN radar navigation system designed to conduct mapping, charting, and geodetic surveys, and the mission of the RB-50G was electronic reconnaissance.

:: These were : the high-speed cameras in 1939; aircraft direction indicators in 1940, and gyro-driven turn indicators in 1941; high-cycle three phase ground power units in 1942; clinometers and autopilots in 1943, and radar navigation displays in 1944.

Reformed on 10 December 1940 from the Wireless Intelligence Development Unit at RAF Boscombe Down operating a variety of aircraft . The main task was to identify German radio beams and to develop methods to jam them, its secondary role was to develop wireless and radar navigation aids for Bomber Command.

Today, VT-86's mission is to provide advanced flight instruction to Student Naval Flight Officers ( NFO ) destined for strike fighter, bomber and electronic warfare aircraft in the U . S . Navy and U . S . Marine Corps, as well as continuing training for international students destined for similar aircraft . The squadron syllabus builds on that training previously received in the primary and intermediate NFO training squadrons, with additional emphasis on systems, instrument and radar navigation, radar intercept and attack, high-speed low-level flight, advanced aerial combat maneuvering and advanced communications.
