The use of the current Loran-C network and the future GPS for marine navigation is described, and their use in combination (now planned for the period before GPS becomes fully operational in 1988) is shown to offer significant advantages over either system alone. Loran provides GPS initialization and continuous coastal coverage when GPS is out of sight, while GPS improves Loran by aiding cycle selection, ambiquity treatment, and ASF-factor calibration. Graphs and diagrams are included.
