Global positioning system navigation

A new development in harvest control for better quality of cane and beet has been the use of global positioning systems (GPS) based on satellite navigation facilities.16... [Pg.1661]

Applications of these stable microwave clocks, which drift by as little as some nanoseconds a day, are widespread, with the obvious example of the Global Positioning System which enables cellular navigation with unprecedented ease... [Pg.448]

A typical transformational pattern is to introduce a new system solution into a previously existing web of capabilities, which in turn transforms the way people work together or the tools that they use to do their work. An example is the development of space-based navigation signals in the 1960s that resulted in the present-day Global Positioning System (GPS). [Pg.170]

Many cars today have onboard global positioning system (GPS) navigation devices that can help drivers with street directions some can even display restaurant locations. Satellites rely on batteries for their operation and use solar arrays to recharge the batteries (Figure 9-14). In addition to being helpful to drivers, GPS and communication satellites are crucial to our economy, safety, and national security. [Pg.209]

A second example is the use of frequency combs in satellites for the global positional system GPS for navigation purposes. The accuracy of navigation depends on the frequency stability of transmitters and receivers. [Pg.575]

Differential GPS (Global Positioning System) has been recommended as a primary approach aid. GPS is not yet approved as a primary navigation aid, but is in use, especially outside controlled airspace. [Pg.1094]

Global Positioning System (GPS) Satellite-based navigational system. [Pg.162]

Global Positioning System (GPS). GPS makes use of communications satellite technology for navigational purposes. The GPS was first developed by the government for military applications but has become widely used in civilian applications in products such as cars and mobile phones. [Pg.383]

Global Positioning System (GPS) Space-based global navigation satellite system that provides accurate location and time information for any point on Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. [Pg.1266]

Navigation. Navigation encompasses a number of radio applications including radio direction finding (RDF), radar, loran, and Global Positioning System (GPS). [Pg.1574]

MUitary Spacecraft. Military spacecraft include communications satellites, reconnaissance and surveillance satellites, missUe-attack early-warning satellites, and navigation-support satellites such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) constellation. Military spacecraft are considered force-enhancement or force-support assets. They do not directly engage in hostilities. [Pg.1696]

Global Positioning System (GPS) (Ivan A. Getting) The first GPS satellite is launched, designed to support a navigational system that uses satelhtes to pinpoint the location of a radio receiver on Earth s surface. [Pg.2071]

Introduction The Global Positioning System (NAVSTAR GPS) Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS)... [Pg.1801]
