Use of a microprocessor for providing navigation information from the inherent hyperbolic geometries of Loran-C was discussed. The advantages Loran-C offers over VOR/DME as a primary navigation aid are identified. These advantages include long range coverage by several stations, coverage at low altitudes, and the capability to have nonprecision approaches at airports not already served by landing aids. Modern digital electronic technology is used to produce a device to convert Loran-C data to useful pilot information using simple software algorithms and low cost microprocessor devices. The cost and lack of availability of suitable processors to execute these algorithms have prevented a Loran-C navigator from being developed. Results indicate that the microprocessor based Loran-C navigator has an accuracy of 1.0 nm or less over an area typically covered by a triad of Loran-C stations and can execute a position update in less than 0.2 seconds.
