The newest military branch (Space Cadets) and the FAA are getting concerned about the ease with which GPS can be knocked out.
One solution they are looking out is a modernized " eLoran" system.
It will be digital not analog.
The Coast Guard claims for $300-$400million they can rebuild enough land stations (19) to restore a much more accurate system.
A single GPS sat. is $577 million .Multiple sats. are required for a fix.
Your old Loran is junk but if approved the new system will be more robust.
