I saw some rumblings (can't find an article) that there's interest in restarting LORAN to provide an alternative to GPS for this reason.

LORAN can be jammed.

Well certainly, no one thing is impervious. But if you have GPS, LORAN, VORs, NDBs, astronavigation, etc. you have many more options at your disposal and present a much more complex attack target.

Is there a reliable app to detect these without using excessive amounts of battery?

Those cheap GPS jammers, which sites should I avoid to not buy them by accident?
