This situation has engender a need for development of an autonomous, ground-based radiolocation system, based on the hyperbolic system with spread spectrum signals. This article describes the construction and operation of such a system technology demonstrator which was developed at the Technical University of Gdansk. It was named AEGIR (god of the ocean in Norse mythology). This paper presents preliminary results and analysis of its effectiveness.}, issn = {2083-6473}, publisher = {Gdynia Maritime University, Faculty of Navigation}, keywords = {Global Positioning System (GPS), Positioning System, Hyperbolic Radiolocation System, Spread Spectrum Signal, Ground-Based Radiolocation System, Hyperbolic System, Basic Navigation Message (BNM), Additional Navigation Message (ANM)} }
