The system provides a means for determining the fix of a number of remotely located ships or buoys throughout the world regardless of time of day or weather using a single, self-contained transmitter/receiver unit at each location. Accuracy ranges from 400 to 600 feet depending on conditions. System concepts are explained, and the system hardware, such as the transmitter/receiver and the computer/display stations are also described. Various applications of the system are also discussed.
