originaly GPS was part of the US Military satellite system and designed for battlefield positioning information in guidance systems. it was intended to create autonomous armaments that would direct themselves to their destinations automatically (as cruise missiles were intended to do) The system was released into the civilian world when it was realised how useful it could be - however it would be shutdown to civilians in the event of war. This problem has led the E.U. and particularly U.K. to develop "Magelan" a far more accurate system of positioning (to millimetres not metres of accuracy) using dozens of special satellites for civilian use only.
