Radiolocation

Example:The radar system on the aircraft can accurately determine the position of other planes in the sky.

Definition:A system used for detecting and locating aircraft, ships, and other objects by emitting radio waves that bounce off the objects and return to the receiver. It is a type of radiolocation that uses electromagnetic waves in the radio frequency range.

Example:The hiker relies on GPS to navigate through the dense forest and stay on the trail.

Definition:Global Positioning System, a navigation system that uses satellite signals to determine the precise location of an object on the Earth's surface, often used in conjunction with radiolocation to improve accuracy.

Example:The submarine uses sonar to detect and locate its enemies lurking in the depths.

Definition:Sound navigation and ranging, a method of detecting objects in water by emitting sound waves and listening for their reflections. Although primarily an underwater technique, some aspects can be considered radiolocation as well.
