Extract

In the very near future there is a good chance of being able to navigate around the world using one or more of the radio navigation aids currently being implemented. Navigators the world over have long dreamt of a reliable, global, all weather navigational tool and this is now within their grasp. This paper discusses some of the administrative tasks that must be accomplished to make the navigator's dream come true.

However for global radio navigation the field is narrowed considerably, there being only five contenders.
