Basics

  • LORAN-C was a radio navigation system before GPS which allowed a receiver to determine its position by listening to low frequency radio signals transmitted by radio beacon basestations.
  • They essentially sent out blips like GPS, and the device did the calculation based of the beacons' prerecorded location, and the time delay of the different signals.
  • A new version has been explored called eLORAN which uses more modern systems (Such as networking between radio basestations for time syncing, and error correction for improved accuracy.

Provides

  • Easy DIY GPS Like Navigation in Under-served Areas
  • Redundancy to GPS Navigation
  • Possibly Cheaper, Simpler, and More Precise Navigation (All that is needed for reading could be as simple as an antennae and an ossiloscope for manual, or a simple arduino circuit and an antennae for automatic
  • Benefits Automation like the Open Source Robotic Tractor
