Research & Development

Research and Radionavigation Directorate of the General Lighthouse Authorities of the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Research and Radionavigation Directorate is a function of The General Lighthouse Authorities (GA's), which consist of Trinity House Lighthouse Service, The Northern Lighthouse Board and the Commissioners of Irish Lights. The Research and Radionavigation Directorate of the GA's is aimed at providing technology and information to enhance the performance of the GA's both with regard to management requirements and provision of Aids-to-Navigation. Achievement of these aims is assisted by international co-operation and exchange of information, for example participation in committees of the International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) is seen as vitally important.
