Dover Strait – 28 days’ traffic records

(which) … affected precise timing and navigation users over large portions of Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and … North America … and resulted in the transmission of Hazardously Misleading Information."

With a little more jammer power: Electronic Chart Displays Autopilot Automatic Identification System Differential GPS Satellite voice and data comms Maritime distress safety system plus … Ship’s Radar & Gyrocompass

GPS chaos: How a $30 box can jam your life 21:00 06 March 2011 by David HamblingDavid Hambling

© David Last Reduce impact of GPS vulnerability Harden GPS systems Complementary navigation system - independent of satellite navigation - compatible with it - meets modern standards Enhanced Loran (eLoran) GNSS + eLoran: So resilient you can reduce lighthouses and buoys – and pay for eLoran

The GLAs’ prototype eLoran system is on the air Runs continuously; available since May 2010; 10-20m accuracy in ports with differential service (green area)

The GLAs’ prototype eLoran system is on the air - serving the Port of Dover and the UK section of the Dover Strait First stage eLoran Initial Operational Capability (IOC) - soon at 6 more busy ports

Galatea continued seamlessly on track, reporting eLoran positions to nearby ships and the Vessel Traffic Service ashore.

The GLAs’ prototype eLoran system now provides precise telecommunications timing across the UK and Ireland Picture:

Japan: No jamming has been observed in Japan No plans for terrestrial systems All Loran-C stations removed by 2015 South Korea: Plan to implement eLoran National coverage from 5 stations Far East Radio Navigation Service (FERNS)

UK & Ireland: Developing eLoran Implementing Operational Capability France: Transmitting Loran-C Has experimented with eLoran North-West Europe Norway: Closing Loran-C transmissions Discussions with Russia re high north Netherlands: Rotterdam pilots now using eLoran

Upgrade old Loran-C to new eLoran Re-use Loran-C stations Serve shipping, telecoms, data, land transport – critical infrastructure Maritime: positive payback, shared costs New markets for industry Maximise Loran-C payback
