Obama Zeros Out Loran-C in Budget
NextGov reports that President Obama’s 2010 budget does not include funds for Long Range Navigation System, Loran-C, a navigation system run by the Coast Guard. The Homeland Security Department budget zeroes out funding for the system that serves as a backup where GPS does not work well. The decision is in keeping with the president’s promise to “unfund” outdated systems. The savings could top $36 million in 2010. Some are not convinced the system is no longer needed.
