LORAN system

Project 3, a long-range navigation system, was of particular interest to Great Britain.

The geographical depictions would help me get around, but the lines with the long-range navigation coordinates wouldn't make sense to me.

A complete radio set was to be mounted in all aircraft, along with a radio direction finder for long-range navigation.

Finally, especially from the 1960s on, fully computerized bombsights were introduced, which combined the bombing with long-range navigation and mapping.

It was one of the ICAO's recommended long-range navigation systems.

It included extensive exercises in high-altitude formation flying, long-range navigation, target identification, and simulated combat missions.

Designed for the long-rang bombing role and particularly for raids on Berlin the squadron worked up with training on long-range navigation.

For years, boaters relied on a system called long-range navigation, or Loran, which uses on-shore beacons transmitting radio signals.

This meant that a single navigation instrument could replace both short and long-range navigation systems, offer better accuracy than either, and required no ground-based equipment.

The infrared detecting set is a high-performance multipurpose thermal imaging sensor, providing long-range navigation, surveillance, and fire control capabilities.

Further development equipped with Svod long-range navigation receiver and armed with 3 x 30 mm NR-30 cannons.

One focus of the inquiry will be long-range navigation procedures that are used not only by Delta but by all airlines crossing both the Atlantic and Pacific.

It remained the most widely used long-range navigation system until the advent of GPS, which was developed from it and became used by the public after 2000.

Long-range navigation (LORAN)

In later years he invented LORAN, the most widely used long-range navigation system until the advent of GPS.

The system was used for long-range navigation under the Consol name, and supported by ICAO as one of the suggested long-range air navigation systems.

After marking the long-range navigation system-or LORAN-coordinates, as well as the GPS numbers, so he could find the site in the future, he reached for the radio.

It is powered by an R-195 engine and equipped with an RSDN-10 long-range navigation system, an analogue of the Western LORAN system.

Long-range Navigation (LORAN) : This was the predecessor of GPS and was (and to an extent still is) used primarily in commercial sea transportation.

The third production P2V-1 was chosen for a record-setting mission, ostensibly to test crew endurance and long-range navigation but also for publicity purposes: to display the capabilities of the Navy's latest patrol bomber.

Between 1909 and 1911 the Navy took advantage of huge strides in military development of aircraft, having a significant tradition in research and development and a strong regard to long-range navigation and reconnaissance.

This was followed by the Decca Navigator System in 1944 by the Royal Navy, along with LORAN by the US Navy for long-range navigation at sea.

Laboratories included aircraft communication systems, high-frequency and microwave radar systems, identification, friend or foe (IFF) systems, radar altimeters, and long-range navigation (LORAN) equipment.

In addition, Manasquan took part in the initial at-sea testing of LORAN (long-range navigation) system, which became of inestimable value both to naval and merchant ships and to military and commercial aircraft.

The only other systems still in use are aviation aids, which are also being turned off for long-range navigation while new differential GPS systems are being deployed to provide the local accuracy needed for blind landings.

But you can check the radio equipment, radar, Loran system, or satellite navigation.

And the creation of a new and even more accurate Loran system that uses satellites instead of land-based transmitters is under way.

As LORAN systems are government maintained and operated, their continued existence is subject to public policy.

LORAN systems also used time-of-flight radio signals, but from radio stations on the ground.

The current LORAN system has been phased out in the United States and Canada.

The LORAN system was intended for ships but signal levels on the US east- and west-coast areas were adequate for use with receivers in automobiles.

Combat Skyspot was complemented by expanding the radio-based LORAN system utilized by other strike aircraft.

It is powered by an R-195 engine and equipped with an RSDN-10 long-range navigation system, an analogue of the Western LORAN system.

With technical refinements that make position fixes accurate to within meters, the radio-based LORAN system was used in the late 20th Century but has been discontinued in North America.

The Americans left in the early 1970s as satellite communications made the Loran System redundant, but during the 2 decades of American occupation, it was a place unlike any place in Batanes at the time.

LORAN Data Channel (LDC) is a project underway between the FAA and USCG to send low bit rate data using the LORAN system.

Critics, who have called for the elimination of the system, state that the LORAN system has too few users, lacks cost-effectiveness, and that GNSS signals are superior to LORAN.

The unanimous recommendation for keeping the LORAN system and upgrading to eLORAN was based on the team's conclusion that LORAN is operational, deployed and sufficiently accurate to supplement GPS.

LORAN systems were built during World War II after development at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Radiation Laboratory and were used extensively by the US Navy and Royal Navy.

The team also concluded that the cost to decommission the LORAN system would exceed the cost of deploying eLORAN, thus negating any stated savings as offered by the Obama administration and revealing the vulnerability of the U.S. to GPS disruption.
