eLORAN as GPS backup
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outdated radionavigation system that nobody uses anymore but legislation is being introduced to complete the enhancement of LORAN.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'. http://www.insidegnss.com/node/1571 --- CHAS

eLORAN as GPS backup
Not surprised at all...
When you know that LORAN is the only one radionavigation system (since OMEGA have been switched off) you can receive under sea without an antenna over sea surface. You can easely imagin who are the users and what is the interest of that system... Cheers Utilsea http://utilsea.free.fr
