Air Force Demonstrating eLoran, 50 years after Loran-D by Editor | Feb 21, 2024 | Blog What’s New: An Air Force press release about an eLoran demonstration, along with some surprising statements about future deployment and use. Why It’s Important: The U.S. government has been talking about GPS vulnerability, a backup and complementary capability, and using eLoran for decades. Despite promises, though, real action has been lacking. This announcement says: “The eLoran system works where GPS does not and has the potential to be faster and more accurate.” eLoran is faster to first fix than GPS. It is a much, much stronger signal – easier to acquire and lock on to. Also, an eLoran receiver always knows which way it is facing. Ever start up GPS and have your software tell you to turn in the wrong direction because you haven’t been moving and it doesn’t know which way you are facing? Not a problem with eLoran. Initial direction/heading on startup could be essential in some military and other critical applications. Not sure about “more accurate.” eLoran with differential corrections has been shown to be good to w/in 50ft. GPS is normally accurate to 21 feet or better. But then, GPS wiggles sometimes for various reasons and isn’t that accurate. So, yeah, in those situations, eLoran is more accurate. “ it [eLoran] is going to be used in conjunction with GPS to help mitigate spoofing operations in contested environments” – Wow, that sounds like a contract is going to be let. “The aim is to use the existing terminal sites with modern upgrades to cover the entire continental U.S. with an eLoran system, using only three navigational towers.” – Wow again. Practical questions: What existing terminal sites? Only three towers? As far as we know, eLoran transmitters have a range of about 800 nautical miles over land. So even if they were just providing timing that is a big stretch. Would be really a stretch to provide navigation also. Maybe there have been tech advances we don’t know about. This sounds like a major policy decision that reverses earlier government policy. We are beginning to wonder if the public affairs person who put together this release might have been a bit over-enthusiastic. – Although, they had to get this info from somewhere. What Else to Know: There has been a lot of interest in eLoran recently. For example: The UK, China, South Korea, and Saudi Arabia all have or are upgrading systems to eLoran. Russia’s Chayka is equivalent to Loran-C and may have been or be in the process of being upgraded. The EU has advertised for construction of an integrated miniature GNSS/eLoran receiver. We have been told by credible sources that one reason the U.S. shut down its Loran system in 2010 instead of upgrading it to eLoran as a GPS backup was because some folks didn’t want it competing in the budget with the very expensive GPS program. Interesting that the Air Force and L3Harris, one of the prime contractors for GPS, are involved with this eLoran demo.

Just responded to the NATS Open air Consutation which proposes charging for lower airspace services. It seems to me that charging GA users will result in the following. 1, Increased risk to GA users as they will be reluctant to pay for services. 2. Increased risk of airsopace infringements and Airprox due to GA users not using an appropriate service due to cost 3. increased volumes of traffic in shrinking open airspace. chilling effect in GA particularly in non commercial organisations such as gliding where the increased cost of use will deter new and existing members due to increased costs of operation. Wou might want to take a look at https://lnkd.in/dshvhG4v as usual the time for consultation is very short to try and limit a response and skew the results in the favour of the poposition
