The basic element in the system is electronic measurement of the distance between aircraft, each of which must carry an atomic timepiece synchronized to a network of ground-based master clocks. In places where master-clock stations are not feasible, such as remote ocean areas, one plane would take over as the master clock, and all other planes in the sector would synchronize with it. The whole system would operate at dazzling speed: 196 converging aircraft, all of whose clocks were completely unsynchronized, could sort themselves out and synchronize in 30 seconds...
