    GPS uses a network of satellites that transmit precise time signals to receivers on Earth. The receivers use these signals from at least 3 satellites to triangulate the user's exact location by comparing the difference in time between when a signal was transmitted by a satellite versus received. GPS is made up of 3 segments - the space segment contains 30 orbiting satellites, the control segment monitors the satellites from ground stations, and the user segment consists of GPS receivers. GPS has many applications including navigation, tracking vehicles and wildlife, precision agriculture, and military uses.

    GPS

    PRESENTED BY: MOHD ALAM aligarh muslim university MBA STUDENT.

    INTRODUCTION OF GPS
    GPS is a navigation and precisepositioning tool. Orbiting navigational satellites. Transmit position and time data. Developed by DoD in 1973. GPS uses for location, navigation,tracking, Mapping and timing.

    The GPS Constellation

    HOW GPS WORKS?

    GPS SEGMENTS
    GPS systems are made up of 3 segments

    Space Segment (SS) Control Segment (CS) User Segment (US)

    1 - Space Segment
    - contains 30 GPS satellites - orbiting at an altitude of approximately 20,200 kilometers - each satellite makes two complete orbits in 12 hours( twice a day) - orbits are designed so that at the very least, six satellites are always within line of sight from any location on the planet

    Continues

    2 - Control Segment

    The CS consists of 3 entities:


    Master Control Station - located Falcon Air Force Base in Colorado , is responsible for overall management of the remote monitoring and transmission . Monitor Stations - Six monitor stations are located world wide. - They checks the exact altitude, position, speed, and overall health of the orbiting satellites. Ground Antennas -they transmit correction information to individual satellites.

    3 - User Segment
    -The user's GPS receiver is the user segment of the GPS system -They can also include a display for showing location and speed information to the user.

    GPS Communication and Control

    What is happening?
    GPS satellite circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to earth.GPS receivers take this information and use triangulation to calculate the users exact location. Essentially , the GPS receivers compares the time a signal was transmitted by satellite with the time it was received. The time difference tell the GPS receiver how far away the satellite is. Now with distance measurement from a few more satellites, the receiver can determine the users position and display it on the units electronic map.

    APPLICATIONS OF GPS

    TRANSPORTATION
    IT USES AIR,WATER ,SURFACE TRANSPORTATION. TO FIND ROUTES. IT ENABLES FIND EASY ROUTES. TO FIND EXACT LOCATION

    VEHICLES
    TO TRACKING FIND ROUTE FIND LOCATION

    MILITARY
    IN THE TIME OF WAR TO ATTACK ENEMIES TO FIND BOARDERS

    AGRICULTURE

    SPRAYING PESTICIDE

    TOURISM
    TO FIND LOCATION FOR TREKKING FOR MOUNTAIN BIKERS

    WILDLIFE
    TO FIND WILDLIFE AND FOREST AREA TO COUNTING WILD ANIMALS

    OTHER USES
    SURVEYING MAPPING IDENTIFY NATIONAL BOARDERS

    CONCLUSION
    The technology of the Global Positioning System is allowing for huge changes in society. The applications using GPS are constantly growing. The cost of the receivers is dropping while at the same time the accuracy of the system is improving. This affects everyone with things such as faster Internet speed and safer plane landings.Even though the system was originally developed for military purposes and it is used to support a broad range of defense.
