The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based worldwide navigation system that has a wide range of military and civil applications. Increased situational awareness, as well as navigation and reconnaissance capabilities will support decisions regarding maneuver and application of forces. GPS will be used to guide weapons and vehicles, support combat identification and search and rescue missions, track troops and supplies, and much more. There are limitations to the system, such as potential signal jamming or enemy use, that must be controlled in order to maintain this valuable asset. The successful commander must understand the capabilities and limitations of GPS technology to effectively utilize its many applications on the battlefield.
