This paper presents a proposal for transitioning from terrestrial based navigation aids to implementing satellite and airborne surveillance as the primary navigation means. The transition occurs through several steps. First the installation and use of modern navigation and surveillance equipment is mandated by the regulatory organizations. The installations should take place in a sequenced fashion to allow time for companies to absorb the initial cost. Next the existing network of terrestrial navigation aids is down sized leaving only the areas of heaviest use in service. At this point, the Global Positioning System (GPS) is deemed the primary method of terrestrial and oceanic travel. Finally, terrestrial navigation stations are available around airports and the remaining stations are put in a standby condition for use the in the event of a national emergency. This paper also discusses the security benefits and examples of cost savings through implementation of these steps.
