The Goodyear Aircraft Corporation developed ATRAN(Automatic Terrain Recognition And Navigation), a radar map-matching system) in which the return from a radar scanning antenna was matched with a series of "maps" carried on board the missile which corrected the flight path if it deviated from the film map. The company began lab tests in March 1948, flight tests in October of that year. 1, record 1, English, - Automatic%20Terrain%20Recognition%20and%20Navigation
