- See also changes related to Navigation, or pages that link to Navigation or to this page or whose text contains "Navigation".
Parent topics
- Astronomy [r]: The study of objects and processes in the observable universe, e.g. stars, planets, comets or asteroids. [e]
- Geography [r]: Study of the surface of the Earth and the activities of humanity upon it. [e]
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]
- Avionics [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Azimuth [r]: Add brief definition or description
- 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]
- Compass [r]: A device which has the basic function of displaying a bearing for navigation. [e]
- Electronic Charting System [r]: Generic International Maritime Organization term for a marine navigation device that, at a minimum, links a display, computer-readable charts and a Global Navigation Satellite System [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]
- 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]: Add brief definition or description
- 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]
- Physical map [r]: Map which indicates location of landforms like deserts, mountains and plains, significant bodies of water, with country borders and major cities. [e]
- Radar [r]: Acronym for "radio detection and ranging"; a system used to locate a distant object by transmission of radio waves and reception of their reflection. [e]
- RACON [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Raytheon AN/SPS-64 [r]: A Raytheon commercial and military system of navigation radar; while on U.S. Navy ships including the Burke-class and Ticonderoga-class, it is independent of the AEGIS battle management system [e]
- Satellite orbits [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Search and rescue [r]: Add brief definition or description

- Sonar [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Transponder [r]: Add brief definition or description
- AN- [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Acoustic energy [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Canadian Coast Guard [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Fratricide (military) [r]: Add brief definition or description
- National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency [r]: Add brief definition or description
- United States Coast Guard [r]: Add brief definition or description
- United States Navy [r]: Add brief definition or description
