President Obama has recently targeted LORAN for shutdown as an
outdated radionavigation system that nobody uses anymore but
legislation is being introduced to complete the enhancement of LORAN.
'The legislation implicitly confirms the findings of an Independent
Assessment Team (IAT) on eLoran, funded by the office of the under
secretary of transportation policy and chaired by Brad Parkinson, the
first program manager for GPS'.
