Ursanav News Release

May 15, 2008 - For Immediate Release

Chesapeake, VA - Ursa Navigation Solutions (UrsaNav) is pleased to announce an alliance with Nautel to provide full-service Enhanced Loran (eLoran) solutions, including systems engineering, integration, and follow-on support. UrsaNav lends its significant Loran operations, engineering, and management expertise to the alliance. Nautel will continue to concentrate on developing revolutionary Enhanced Loran Transmitter Systems.

According to Chuck Schue, UrsaNav’s President & CEO: “The world relies too heavily on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) such as GPS for position, navigation, and timing service. In the event of a GPS outage or disruption, eLoran has time and again been acknowledged as the best fully independent system to provide continuity of these services to all modes: land, air, and sea. With the introduction of the Nautel eLoran Transmitter technology, the cost of a system to mitigate the safety, security, or economic effects of a GNSS system outage or disruption is significantly decreased. Our technology toolbox is now complete. We can deliver a more capable and flexible eLoran solution, with exceptional associated reductions in installation, maintenance, infrastructure, and follow-on support, all at a tremendous cost savings to the service provider.”
