Modeling, simulation and test data are used to define the accuracy achieved using the Loran-C navigation system. Although Loran was invented prior to WWII, the system has undergone major changes and enhancements over the years. Currently the system offers high accuracy at a very low cost. This paper presents the new nanosecond precision Loran-C system performance and accuracy based on extensive modling, simulation and data analysis.
