Global Positioning System
The concept of satellite navigation was developed by the United States Department of Defense through the Global Positioning System (GPS). The GPS was officially launched in 1978 and has since become the primary navigation system used worldwide.
Satellite navigation was first developed in the United States, primarily through the Global Positioning System (GPS) project initiated by the U.S. Department of Defense in the 1970s. The first satellite, Navstar 1, was launched in 1978, marking the beginning of operational satellite navigation. The system was designed for military use but later became available for civilian applications, revolutionizing navigation worldwide.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) was developed by the United States Department of Defense. Its development began in the 1970s, with the first satellite launched in 1978. The system was designed for military navigation but became available for civilian use in the 1980s, significantly changing navigation and location tracking worldwide.
The concept of satellite navigation (sat nav) evolved from various technologies and contributions over the years. The first operational satellite navigation system, known as TRANSIT, was developed by the U.S. Navy in the 1960s. However, the Global Positioning System (GPS), which is the most widely recognized sat nav system today, was developed by the U.S. Department of Defense and became fully operational in the 1990s. Various companies have since created consumer devices and software that utilize GPS technology for navigation.
The Department of Defense developed GPS (Global Positioning System) primarily to enhance military navigation and operations. Launched in the 1970s, it provided accurate positioning, navigation, and timing information to improve the effectiveness of military missions. Over time, GPS technology was made available for civilian use, revolutionizing navigation in various sectors, including transportation, telecommunications, and emergency services.

Yes, Russia has its own satellite navigation system called GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System). GLONASS provides global coverage and is operated by the Russian Aerospace Defense Forces.
A programming language, based on Pascal and developed for the U.S. Department of Defense.

No, NASA did not invent GPS. GPS technology was developed by the United States Department of Defense and became fully operational in 1995. NASA has used GPS technology in its missions for navigation and tracking purposes.
The earliest computers were used by the military, so Defence.
The First "Organization" to use the Internet is in fact the The United States Department of Defense. It was called ARPANET and it was developed by DARPA, an agency from the Department of Defense
