Abstract :
Omega is a navigation radio aid having worldwide coverage with good accuracy. By choosing among the phase-difference lines of position¿much as with celestial navigation¿high and uniform accuracy can be maintained. Developed and tested by USNEL and USNRL, Omega is introduced by a discussion of qualities not shared by Gee. Decca, or Loran.
