Subtopics
- Automatic Identification System [r]: A system, aboard ships and boats, that combines marine radio transmitters and receivers, Global Navigation Satellite System receivers, and computer control into a self-organizing, mobile network in which vessels are inform nearby traffic, potential collision hazards, and navigational information [e]

- Air Traffic Control [r]: A system for managing the safe operation of large numbers of aircraft in shared airspace, day or night, and in almost all weather, keeping the aircraft managed by positive control from a network of interconnected ground stations [e]
- Chartplotter [r]: Generic term for an Electronic Charting System that may run on a dedicated device or a personal computer; typically accepts inputs, via NMEA 0183 interface, from a wide range of marine navigation devices [e]

- Global Navigation Satellite System [r]: A system which allows small electronic devices to determine their location (Longitude, Latitude, and Altitude) as well as time with an accuracy of up to a few centimetres using time signals transmitted along a line of sight by radio from satellites. [e]
- Global Positioning System [r]: Originally developed for U.S. military needs, a satellite-based system for obtaining precise position and time information; the most widely used part of the Global Navigation Satellite System [e]
- Identification friend or foe [r]: Military electronic systems that send a secure "don't kill me" signal to friendly forces, to avoid fratricide, usually based on encrypted interaction with a transponder [e]
- Inertial navigation [r]: Navigation method that does not depend on external references, but computes the present position by sensing the movement of the navigating platform from a precisely known starting point in space, using accelerometers to sense position changes from a reference provided by gyroscopes [e]
- International Hydrographic Organization [r]: Add brief definition or description
- International Maritime Organization [r]: The United Nations agency responsible for avoiding pollution from ships, and implementing the Safety of Life at Sea convention [e]
- Marine navigation [r]: A term including the literal process of navigation, or finding position and course, but of the overall process of safe operation of a water vessel, such as avoiding collisions [e]
- Midcourse [r]: That part of the journey of an unmanned vehicle, or a manned vehicle on autopilot, between launch/takeoff/boost phase and final approach/terminal guidance [e]
- Nautical mile [r]: Unit of distance approximately equal to one minute of arc of latitude, now defined as being exactly 1852 metres. [e]
