Forget the paper-based charts of old. The U.S. Navy has decided to implement a program that would make traditional navigation media a thing of the past.
The plan is to replace navigation charts with computer screens under a new program that would affect the entire fleet.
Interactive screens would permit command crews to see their ships' actual position at sea rather than relying on estimates using current methods.
The new navigation system is manufactured by Northrop Grumman.
