Various systems were used. Directional radio systems like LORAN, radar systems, and optical/astronomical instruments in combination with chronometers were all used under differing circumstances. Radio and radar signals were affected by distance from the source and sometimes by weather conditions, and optical location was also impossible under circumstances like heavy cloud cover or fog.
