What Does ADF Stand For?
ADF stands for Automatic Direction Finding
ADF, or Automatic Direction Finding, is a radio navigation technique used to determine the direction of a radio signal relative to the receiver's position. It employs specialized equipment to automatically calculate the bearing of incoming signals, aiding in navigation and positioning for aviation, maritime, and land-based applications. ADF systems enhance situational awareness and contribute to safe and efficient travel by providing accurate directional information.
