    This radio beacon, which looks like a landing pad for UFOs or other spacecraft, is used for navigating aircraft. The technology was developed long before GPS or Galileo and so on. One or more radio signals are sent in the UHF frequency band and it is therefore possible to determine the position with just one transmitter. Brilliant actually.
