Synopsis
All over the world, navigators, scientists and engineers, using the language of probability and servo-mechanics, are shaping the science of navigation anew. Avoidance of collision is now recognized as a problem as least as important as finding geographical position. Control and steering are included as essential elements in navigation systems. Land, sea, air and space navigation are seen as parallel developments which may learn much from each other. The Principles Of Navigation crystallizes these basic changes in philosophy in an overall review of navigation. The aim is to help the navigator understand the true nature of his difficulties and the ways in which they have been tackled in other fields, and to assist the engineer to discover what is the problem that needs to be solved.
