The objectives of the Guidance and Control Panel Working Group 04 were to consider the integration of GPS in aircraft systems and make recommendations for implementation. In Volume II are presented the results of four specific studies of the application of NAVSTAR to Close Air Support, Sea Patrol, Interdiction Strike and Strike RPV. Volume IIA addresses the first of those specific studies. A currently available models 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.
