The Transportation Systems Center (TSC), under the auspices of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has developed the deployment strategy for the LORAN-C monitoring system. The system, a network of 100 units, will span the existing signal coverage area in the contiguous U.S. Most units will be integrated into the VORTAC system, taking advantage of the Facility Central Processing Unit (FCPU) and the dedicated communication lines for automatic status checking, data collection, remote certification, trend analysis, control parameter insertion and maintenance alerting. Other units will be placed in Flight Service Centers, Air Route Traffic Control Centers or towers. The number of monitors needed for area coverage was determined in a range-of-validity study. The maximum number of monitors would be greater than 5000, one per airport; the minimum number would be one per triad. The range-of-validity (ROV) study determined that a circle of 80 to 90 mile radius would be sufficient.
