An air navigation system is described which uses the concept of interferometric measurements of signals received from microwave radio beacons on the ground and in other aircraft similarly equipped. The position of the aircraft as well as that of aircraft in the vicinity are shown on a display device. The pilot can thus initiate a collision avoidance maneuver. The advantages of such a system over present day air traffic control are stressed, especially freedom from fixed predetermined air routes and much shorter security margins. Costs of such a system are estimated and compared with those of present air traffic control in Germany.
