The AN/APN-4 was an airborne LORAN receiver used into the 1960s. It was built in two parts to match the UK's Gee system, and could be swapped with Gee in a few minutes.
LORAN (short for LOng RAnge Navigation) is a hyperbolic radio navigation system. LORAN-C was the predominant LORAN system in use but in recent years eLORAN, or E-LORAN (Enhanced LORAN) has been replacing obsolete LORAN-C systems. However, eLORAN has not been able to catch on as well as GPS systems become cheaper and more accessible to users, so eLORAN systems have begun to shut down.
