    GPS provides several important military applications including navigation, tracking, bomb and missile guidance, rescue operations, and map updating. It allows soldiers to navigate unfamiliar terrain and precisely locate their position. Tracking systems using GPS input data help identify suspicious targets. Modern weapons like cruise missiles use GPS for precise targeting from long distances. Emergency responders can locate casualties faster with GPS. GPS also enables rapid updating of military maps with accurate locations.

    8.4 Engineering and monitoring

    GPS proves to be invaluable in development of maps as the military HQs keeps on changing by instantly
    providing accurate location. It tremendously boosts the updating rate of the maps. GPS also proves very
    efficient for the grid control locations establishment for various weapons and other gadgets and also for
    targeting location. For registration of images into absolute geo-coordinates, modern mapping techniques
    e.g. remote sensing and GIS consistently prefers DGPS technology.

    8.5 Military Applications

    Navigation

    One of the most difficult tasks for soldiers in the unknown enemy territory is to navigate the unfamiliar
    areas. It becomes really challenging when they have to navigate in the dark. GPS plays an important role
    in giving the soldiers their precise location with respect to the surroundings. Soldiers equipped with GPS
    have clear advantage against the enemies, who are already familiar with the surroundings. Advanced GPS
    receivers are used by specialized forces with crack teams to achieve goals and diffuse enemy installations.
    Gun positions in modern warfare can be identified using GPS for tracking and to avoid counter fire hit via
    enemies and their installations. Navigation supports major application for military peoples.

    Tracking

    In a military usage before declaring a target hostile and engaged by various weapon systems, it needs to
    be tracked for suspicious activities. These modern weapon systems of missiles and smart bombs are fed
    with the tracking data as input. For example, Truth Data Acquisition, Recording, and Display System
    (TDARDS) are developed on GPS by US Army which comprises of many features i.e. lightweight, easily
    affordable etc. or GPS based tracking system on mobile that provides up to date data with radio link &
    high computer technology enabling highly accurate and real time position information system on the basis
    of various objects e.g. ground vehicles, helicopters, aircrafts etc. which enables effective tracking.

    Bomb and Missile guidance

    GPS broadly provides designs of modern day weapon system for guidance and targeting. While in flight
    US Cruise Missiles use multichannel GPS receivers to precisely ascertain their position to hit the target
    accurately from repulsion distance The Multiple Launched Rocket System (MLRS) for vehicle positions
    aims the launch box towards the targets instantly on the basis of GPS, reducing the counter bombardment
    & detection chance. A 2000 lb glide bomb developed by exploitation of EDGE (DGPS for Guidance
    Enhancement) program uses a GPS sewer for guidance for US army instead of a Laser. Even an 11 miles
    away target from the drop point can be destroyed by this bomb under the guidance of four DGPS base
    stations 1000 nautical miles far away.

    Rescue
    GPS always proves very worth in case of rescue and emergency response services. Emergency response
    team members can make the benefits of GPS for reducing response time, by determining the location of a
    casualty during operations.

    Map Updation

    GPS proves to be invaluable in development of maps as the military HQs keeps on changing by instantly
    providing accurate location. It tremendously boosts the updating rate of the maps. GPS also proves very
    efficient for the grid control locations establishment for various weapons and other gadgets and also for
    targeting location. For registration of images into absolute geo-coordinates, modern mapping techniques
    e.g. remote sensing and GIS consistently prefers DGPS technology.
