[ARC5] Old and new...

[Joe Connor]

Going over certain types of metal bridges does the same thing, Robert. My wife and I experienced that recently going form northern New Jersey into Staten Island. The GPS went completely out of whack when we were on the bridge both going and coming back.

 I can't comment on the performance of LF Loran but I can confirm that GPS goes off line when under something as insubstantial as a bank drive-through.  Proved it again this afternoon.  As soon as I pulled up to the pneumatic tube, The display in my Land Rover stopped telling me that I was just East of Gessner and started telling me that I was in Houston.  

The problem with LORAN is that I can't see how it could give a fix precise enough for conventional ordnance.

The new LORAN at 100 KHz can penetrate into buildings and basements in which GPS is useless - or so I'm told.  The new LORAN should provide a good fix, and enhance Position-Navigation-Time (PNT) capabilities in challenging environments.
