NeSA has been bought by different companies and we are now called RESON. CHL is still manufacturing the Artemis system. In fact it is still in development. The Artemis Mark V is released a few year ago. I believe it is the only positioning system that survived GPS!
Kind regards, Ellen Stuifbergen

I am an ex Racal Survey employee and have old litereature/brochures about Hyperfix at home. If you are interested drop us a line.

I have worked for Racal-Decca-Thales-Kongsberg-Fugro between 1983 and 1998, mainly on Pulse/8 and DiffGPS, but also a lot on the other systems you describe. Nice to see that somebody has made a page about navigation!

Large dial marked 200-400KHz, small knob marked 'sensitivity', small rotary switch 'BC', 'NAV', and same again + 'LAMP'. Is it of any interest to you? I could send pic's if you want.
