As defined by FS-1037C, radiodetermination is the determination of the position, velocity and/or other characteristics of an object, or the obtaining of information relating to these parameters, by means of the propagation properties of radio waves.
There are two main fields to radiodetermination:
- radiolocation, which is mainly passive
- radionavigation, which is mainly active.
