ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for combining positional data from OMEGA and VOR/DME radio navigation systems to provide computed positional data corresponding thereto includes a circuit for generating an OMEGA compensation in accordance with the difference between the computed value of the positional data and the VOR/DME value thereof. The computed value is provided by algebraically adding the OMEGA compensation to the positional data from the OMEGA system. The gain of the OMEGA compensation circuit is adjusted in an inverse relation with respect to the range of the aircraft from the VOR/DME station thus providing high accuracy positional data throughout the enroute flight of the aircraft without the attendant complexities and inaccuracies normally associated with the separate OMEGA and VOR/DME radio navigation aids.
