  • SHORAN (Abkürzung von Short Range Navigation, Kurzstreckennavigation) war ein im Zweiten Weltkrieg entwickeltes Funknavigationssystem, um Bomber präzise zu ihren Zielen zu leiten. Es funktionierte mittels Transponder-Stationen am Boden, deren Positionen bekannt waren. Das Flugzeug sendete Funksignale aus, welche der Transponder beantwortete. Aus der Laufzeit der Signale konnte der Abstand zur Bodenstation berechnet werden.
