Satellite Navigation: Guiding the Modern World and Warfare
Explore how global satellite navigation systems have become essential for everyday life and military operations, while also making them vulnerable to disruption and attack.
Satellite navigation has become a ubiquitous part of modern life, from the maps on our smartphones to the precision weapons used in warfare. These global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) have become indispensable, but their widespread reliance has also made them vulnerable to disruption and attack.
The development of GNSS, such as the United States' GPS, Russia's GLONASS, and the European Union's Galileo, has revolutionized how we navigate, communicate, and conduct military operations. These systems use a network of satellites orbiting the Earth to provide highly accurate positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) data to users worldwide.
