Der LORAN-C-Sender Rantum bei Rantum auf Sylt war die einzige Sendeanlage für das LORAN-C-Funknavigationssystem in Deutschland. Der Sendebetrieb wurde zum 31. Dezember 2015 eingestellt, bis zur endgültigen Abschaltung wurde der "Blinkbetrieb" aufgenommen. Siehe dazu auch: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/LORAN-C-Sender_Rantum Unter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loran-C#The_future_of_LORAN heißt es ferner: " With the potential vulnerability of GNSS systems, and their own propagation and reception limitations, renewed interest in LORAN applications and development has appeared. Enhanced LORAN, also known as eLORAN or E-LORAN, comprises an advancement in receiver design and transmission characteristics which increase the accuracy and usefulness of traditional LORAN. With reported accuracy as good as ± 8 meters, the system becomes competitive with unenhanced GPS. eLORAN also includes additional pulses which can transmit auxiliary data such as Differential GPS (DGPS) corrections, as well ensure data integrity against spoofing. eLORAN receivers now use "all in view" reception, incorporating signals from all stations in range, not solely those from a single GRI, incorporating time signals and other data from up to forty stations. These enhancements in LORAN make it adequate as a substitute for scenarios where GPS is unavailable or degraded. In recent years the United States Coast Guard has reported several episodes of GPS interference in the Black Sea. South Korea has claimed that North Korea has jammed GPS near the border, interfering with airplanes and ships. By 2018, the United States will build a new eLoran system as a complement to and backup for the GPS system. " Meine Fragen: 1) Nutzt die Bundeswehr das eLORAN/E-LORAN-Netzwerk ? 2) Ist eine Sendestation für das eLORAN/E-LORAN-Netzwerk auf dem Gebiet der BRD geplant ? 3) Gibt es Bestrebungen den stillgelegten LORAN-C-Sender Rantum bei Rantum auf Sylt für das eLORAN/E-LORAN-Netzwerk zu ertüchtigen bzw. wieder in Betrieb zu nehmen ? Vielen Dank.
