Abstract
A multimodal group of engineers, scientists, and industry representatives, including the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) completed a major effort to define and analyze the performance of a new Enhanced Loran system as a backup for the navigation and timing services provided by the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) provided services. Each mode of transportation has defined requirements that the new Enhanced Loran must meet to be acceptable in the radionavigation mix of systems. The group developed a set of requirements for Loran maritime navigation in terms of availability, accuracy, integrity and continuity for the Harbor Entrance and Approach (HEA) requirements defined in the Federal Radionavigation Plan (FRP). This paper discusses the goals of the Loran Support Unit for Fiscal Year 2005 (FY05), and the program to support these goals. The factors related to achieving the objective of moving Differential Loran from the proof-of-concept stage to an operational status will be discussed. Also covered are the results of an initial survey of the Inner Harbor at Boston, MA, USA.
