The design of the GPS itself is similar to ground-based radio navigation systems used in World War II. More inspiration for the GPS came in 1957, when the Soviets launched Sputnik. A group of American scientists were tracking the satellite when they realized that the frequency of the signal was stronger as it got closer and then decreased as it moved further away. They realized because they knew their location on the globe that they could pinpoint Sputnik by measuring its Doppler distortion. The first satellite navigational system was successfully tested in 1960.
Don't forget the 1942 contribution made by the actress Hedy Lammar with her invention of and the original patent for a spread spectrum radio communication system.
