I do not seem to have any problem opening the link.
 
WOW, a terrestrial based system of radio location using time differentials to find your position, just imagine, OH WAIT... wasn't that what LORAN was? But we dismantled that system because GPS is foolproof and cheaper, RIGHT!
 
Also Decca and Omega were land based. Electronics today would make it more affordable.
 
Considering the Digital Loran system was built and then destroyed before it was ever turned on, that's our government at it's finest.

E-Loran didn't stack up either and the only thing the government did wrong with shutting Loran down was they took 10 years to do it.

Maybe the future is this type of technology which is now being purchased by the airforce.

Really not according to data I have reviewed. E Loran was an improvement.
Is this an opinion or do you base it on facts?
When E Loarn was coupled to WAAS GPS the results were even better. I'll see if I can locate those test results.
In fact almost every branch of the military, aviation and Homeland Security didn't agree with this purely political ploy.

This idea is nothing new and will not be accepted. It has more potential to cause interference than help. I don't see how these devices can be secured in a way that couldn't be used in the wrong hands to wreak havoc. I noticed all the technical documents are from 2003 in RF years that might as well be 100 years old.
Do you own stock in this company?
