Extract

Loran C, a long-range hyperbolic navigation system, is currently used in transoceanic aircraft only to provide periodic position up-dating of primary self-contained navigation systems. The successful development and flight testing of an automatic coordinate converter has recently shown that the potential of the Loran system of navigation is vastly greater than past utilization has indicated. This paper briefly discusses the advantages of combining an increased capability Loran sub-system and an unsophisticated inertial sub-system within the framework provided by a heavy logistics support aircraft.
