Radio Navigation

Radio navigation uses radio signals transmitted from ground stations or satellites to help determine an aircraft's or vessel's position and guide its movement. Devices like GPS receivers pick up these signals, calculating location by measuring the time it takes for signals to arrive. This technology allows for accurate, real-time navigation over long distances, improving safety and efficiency. Radio navigation is essential for pilots, sailors, and others who rely on precise positioning, especially where visual cues are limited. It integrates various systems to create reliable navigation solutions, making travel safer and more precise.
