GPS - the world together

The police and the bread crumbs of Hansel and Gretel were: to find a way in both cases, a person or destination, and a person to hold a GPS or Global Positioning System and has been for the 21 Century, which hounds are used more and lost. GPS uses its "eyes in the sky", a group of 21 operational satellites in orbit and three up nearly 12,000 miles above the earth, under the interpretation of the GPS signals sent to the equipment.

> GPS translates these signals into information about the length, width and height of the device that sent it, and the bundle of information to a GPS receiver in one device. The entire operation takes place in fractions of seconds with an accuracy of five meters and is the result of more than three decades and twelve billion (and growing) of dollars spent by the UP Department of Defense.

Military GPS applications

While the Defense Department initially installed GPStheir intercontinental missile systems to help locate their targets with extreme accuracy, GPS technology has applications far beyond the funds that now its use in weapons systems. The U.S. military has used it again in 1991 during the first Gulf War, Desert GPS was of fundamental importance for the allocation of vast unexplored regions.

Because the GPS information, interprets the data can be read, unless, and printed as a map of the area of destination, have savedMilitary innumerable hours of work and a danger to the card in person would otherwise was the desert, while the air;. GPS has its own defensive purposes, and allows a country the globe monitor the movements of military troops in another country in the entire and preparation for a lin attack well in advance.

Commercial GPS Application

The first non-military use of sGPS was for marine, who lost in the sea and able to navigate using traditional meanstouch of a signal] button in the GPS satellites [http://www.gpssystemsreview.com/Articles/ _Systems.php and GPS have their latitude and longitude, on a screen in a matter of seconds. Today, GPS is the most in the aviation industry, to assist in the routing of aircraft.

GPS technology has advanced so much in fact, as you can, now comes pre-programmed for computer A is connected to a GPS system that automaticallyDestination. GPS can operate both as captain and navigator of the ship, even if they are very unlikely that it will replace.

GPS, in both its military and commercial applications, has the world a smaller place and very safe!
