Abstract
The 1994 Federal Radionavigation Plan (FRP) stated that the US Department of Transportation (DOT) would terminate operation of the Loran-C radionavigation system no later than the end of the year 2000. In 1996, the US Congress directed the DOT to conduct a study of this decision, and to prepare a report to the Congress “defining the future use of and funding for operations, maintenance, and upgrades of the Loran-C radionavigation system”. That study was begun in August 1997, and is near its completion. The study provide insights into the technical, economic and political factors which affect the operation and sustainment of radionavigation, and by extension, other highly valued government-provided services
