More GPS or Smarter GPS?
James L Farrell and John W Lavrakas
While GPS offers a ubiquitous, precise, and reliable positioning and timing service to much of the world, in many cases these service fall short. Assured and real-time positioning, navigation, and timing in physically impeded environments have been identified in the US National PNT Architecture as a capability gap to be addressed in next generation PNT services and systems. The authors believe there are indeed practical steps that can be taken now to mitigate many of these issues .…

Assessing the Security of Navigation System: A Case Study using Enhanced Loran
Sherman Lo, Benjamin Peterson and Per Enge
This article assesses the security of eLoran and discusses how its features can be utilized to provide defenses against likely attacks that could affect the signal and user. It determines the vulnerability level and looks at available mitigations. In analyzing on-air attacks, the article quantifies the amount of power needed to jam or spoof Loran signals.…
