3.1 Radiobeacon Management
The Aids to Navigation Manual, Radionavigation, COMDTINST M16500.13 series describes the
present marine radiobeacbn system. Using radiobeacons to generate marine radionavigation signals
under the concept of DGPS will create considerable changes to the present system of controlling
and maintaining radiobeacons. The operation of DGPS requires a more centralized approach to
radiobeacon management (Figure 3-1). The following changes to operations, maintenance,
logistics, training, and system life cycle management are required.
