This report summarizes a study whose objectives were to: Develop a life cycle cost computer model to evaluate various alternative civil aviation navigation systems; Project government implementation and recurring costs and user avionics costs associated with each alternative; Develop rational implementation/transition scenarios for various combinations of the systems to provide civil air navigation coverage in the CONUS, Alaska, Oceanic and Off-shore regions; and Make an initial assessment of the economic impact upon the FAA and civil aviation users for each scenario. Alternatives evaluated were VOR/DME, Loran-C, Omega, Differential Omega, and GPS. The least costly alternative, based upon combined civil user and FAA costs, was found to be continued use of VOR/DME. Sole use of GPS was found to be the most costly alternative.
