The communication and navigation equipment described in this manual is of transitional nature. Future equipment, such as hyperbolic navigation systems, self-contained navigation devices, terrain avoidance and air traffic viewers, IFF, and multiple-channel radios (light and small, long-range, and non-line-of-sight) will be integrated into the Army traffic system as it be- comes available. Although this manual places primary emphasis on air traffic regulation measures and navigational requirements, the Army's concept of present and future air traffic tactical operations is based upon freedom of action and minimum regulation. This manual should not be construed to restrict this concept. Ultimately, control should be limited to that necessary for com- mand purposes.
