The history of Autonomous Navigation Systems (ANS) in aviation and beyond reflects an evolutionary leap in the application of technology for navigating through space, whether in air, water, or land. Originally, navigation heavily depended on human inputs and environmental landmarks, or was guided by dependent systems that relied on external infrastructure such as satellites or […]

The history of onboard communication and safety systems in aviation traces a trajectory of remarkable innovation and integration, paralleling advancements in technology and the ever-growing demands for safer and more efficient air travel. Initial methods of onboard communication were rudimentary, often relying on visual signals or basic radio transmissions, and safety measures were largely preventative,

Dependent Navigation Systems (DNS) have evolved significantly since their inception, mirroring the broader advancements in aviation technology and navigational methodologies. Originally, air navigation was heavily reliant on ‘dead reckoning’ and celestial navigation, both of which had limitations in terms of accuracy and reliability. The introduction of radio navigation systems in the mid-20th century marked the
