The application of NAVSTAR/Global Positioning System to Close Air Support is described. A currently available 'model' was selected, namely the F-4E aircraft equipped with the ARN-101 weapon delivery system. This was selected since it represents the current state-of-the-art for externally aided (LORAN) digital avionics system integrated into a reasonably modern fighter aircraft which is currently in the operational inventory of several NATO countries.
