TRANSIT, the Navy Navigation Satellite System, was developed in the early 1960s by the Johns Hopkins Applied Research Lab. Using the Doppler principle, a radio signal from a satellite in a known orbit could be used to determine the unknown position of a radio receiver on the ground. TRANSIT demonstrated that worldwide accurate navigation was possible from space and its operational constellation of satellites in circular polar orbits are still in use today. 1, record 5, English, - Navy%20Navigation%20Satellite%20System

The Electronic Flight Display System(EFDS) is an updated version of the Flight Display System(FDS). It is defined as the flight instrument, associated controls, and its interface to the aircraft, and is designed to provide the pilot, co-pilot, or Navigation/Communication(NAV/COMM) Officer with a comprehensive, unambiguous presentation of navigation information adequate for both worldwide tactical and non-tactical navigation. The display unit uses a flat panel domestic Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display(AMLCD). The FDS functionally replaces the P-3 electro-mechanical Horizontal Situation Indicator(ID-1540/A), electro-mechanical Flight Director Indicators(FDI)(ID-1556), selected functions of the Navigation Availability Advisory Lights, and integrates GPS navigation with the flight instruments. Additional information such as navigational aid waypoint locations, GPS annunciation, and FDS status pages are also displayed. 2, record 6, English, - electronic%20engine%20display%20system
