Navigator Advances Jam-Proof, Battery-Free Guidance System
A highly reliable navigator system is described as jam proof and unaffected by radiation, with no batteries to wear out. It can be adapted for land or water vehicles by replacing a pneumatic pulse generator gear for propulsion or control.
Plastic molding eyed to cut cost of navy navigators
Martin designers describe a compact navigator for amphibious and leading crafts using plastic injection molding. They claim the size and weight can be reduced and unit cost lowered to under $100, enabling easier forward motion for step pulse generators and related vehicles.
