Loran-CIGPS Interoperable Computerized Algorithms (LOGICAL)

John C. Castonia

Abstract: This paper was prompted by Public Law 100-223, the Airport and Airway Safety and Capacity Expansion Act of 1987, which directs the synchro- nization of Loran-C master stations to within 100 nanoseconds of universal time, and solicited reports on the synchronization of Loran-C and GPS for the purpose of interchange of positioning data. In response to this requirement, this paper presents a simulation architecture and preliminary results for the investigation and relative comparison of GPS/Loran-C interoperable system architectures designed for the National Airspace (NAS). The LoRAN-C/GPS lnteroperable Computerized algorithms (LOGICAL) have been integrated to predict the effects on accuracy of system error contributions and failure modes in user-defined scenarios as desired.
