Bayanat Engineering — A solution provider in aviation and navigation

Navigation could be described as controlling and operating the movement of a craft from one location to another. We can, therefore, distinguish many types of navigation: marine, air, military and even one used in the oil and gas industry.

It is a study dating back to the earliest human civilisations, with the ancient travellers relying on the position of the stars and hand-drawn maps. Indeed, the instruments of navigation have always been a crucial part of the process, as they allowed for the highest possible precision and proper displacement of a vehicle or a craft. Unfortunately, the star position-based estimations and, later, analogue tools such as compasses and astrolabes, used back in the day were not enough to provide utmost precision. That has evolved with the age of technology. Nowadays, numerical devices and instruments are employed within the different sectors of this study, largely improving the exactness and pinpointing of the vehicles’ location and, hence, aiding the navigators in their paths.  So, what are some technologies and systems put in place to ensure the proper functioning of all of these various operations?
