How Did Gps Come About?

GPS is the abbreviation of Global Positioning System, also known as vehicle and ship navigation and positioning system, which is the most advanced technology for intelligent transportation and is a global, all-weather, all-height positioning system. GPS was established by the U.S. Department of Defense in the 1980s for military purposes, with the aim of solving the navigation and positioning problems of military vehicles at sea, in the air and on land. The U.S. and other countries used GPS technology in the Iraq War, the Gulf War and the bombing of the Confederacy, resulting in a much higher bombing hit rate. This technology was gradually extended to civilian use.

Which country invented GPS?

GPS was invented by the U.S. GPS began as a U.S. military project in 1958 and was put into use in 1964, and in the 1970s, the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force jointly developed a new generation of satellite positioning system, GPS.

The main purpose is to provide real-time, all-weather and global navigation services for the three major fields of land, sea and air, and for some military purposes such as intelligence gathering, nuclear explosion monitoring and emergency communications. After more than 20 years of research and experiments and $30 billion, by 1994, a constellation of 24 GPS satellites with a global coverage of 98% had been laid out.

GPS is an all-round, all-weather, all-time, high-precision satellite navigation system developed and established by the U.S. Department of Defense, which can provide low-cost, high-precision three-dimensional position, velocity and precise timing navigation information for users worldwide, and is a model of satellite communication technology in the field of navigation.

Advantages of GPS

1. Free installation, can be placed at will. The working power of the installation-free GPS locator comes from its own built-in battery, which can be placed anywhere in the carriage or magnetically adsorbed in hidden places such as the bottom of the car.

2. Small size, strong concealment. Because it is not bound by the power cord, the installation-free GPS locator can be placed at will, such as adsorption in the car chassis, seats, lamp posts and other hidden places, it is difficult to be found.

3. It is not easy to be detected interference. Because the wireless GPS locator must be woken up to work at the specified time, monitoring time can be mastered, more flexible, to a large extent, effectively avoid interference from signal shields or detectors.

The LORA GPS tracker is the ideal GPS beacon for geo-locating equipment without the need for an external power supply, and the GPS tracker can also notify you of motion detection. We offer a comprehensive portfolio of industrial LoRaWAN and NB-IOT IOT sensors.
