Aaron Baker 7 October 2012 The Evolution of GPS Technology Good morning my name is Aaron Baker and today I’m going to speak to you about GPS technology. GPS is an abbreviation for the Global Positioning System, which is what we use today to pinpoint locations around the globe. The GPS system is valuable because it has many civilian and military uses. I will inform you about what exactly GPS is and I will also highlight some of its uses. In the early 1950’s during the race to space, the United

Air Force secret to a cellular phone requirement for personal safety in 1999. Today many civilian GPS users have come to conflicting arguments as to whether or not GPS is here to help or hinder us. Between foreign nations such as China working to have successfully launched 35 satellites by 2020, and Superior court trials arguing violation of privacy… Has GPS found a competitor? What GPS does for us GPS is used daily for coordinating airliners (NextGen), city transit, package delivery, keeping track

SSG Riemann, SSG Carerras & SGT Horner SFC Hopkins 13T ALC 11 October 2012 Equipments and Tactics from the World Wars and Today The Field Artillery is and always has been the King of Battle. Technology and tactic have been refined over the years based on lessons learned from the past. During the World Wars the implementation of new equipment and tactics helped shape the field artillery of today. However, some of the same equipment and tactics are still being used today. Warfare had changed

332 IEEE SENSORS JOURNAL, VOL. 1, NO. 4, DECEMBER 2001 Inertial Sensor Technology Trends Neil Barbour and George Schmidt, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract—This paper presents an overview of how inertial sensor technology is applied in current applications and how it is expected to be applied in near- and far-term applications. The ongoing trends in inertial sensor technology development are discussed, namely interferometric fiber-optic gyros, micro-mechanical gyros and accelerometers, and micro-optical

& logged. Almost everything today is GPS enabled. The government can access these records, videos, and locate people from their GPS enabled device without their knowledge. Scott McNealy couldn’t have said it any better “You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it” (Sprenger, 1999, para.1). The evolution of technology has made it easier for Big Brother to watch us. Our privacy against government intrusion is virtually impossible because technology has provided more access than our judicial

most likely grow out of the convergence of enhanced 2nd generation mobile systems with greater data transfer speed and capacity and 1st generation satellite mobile systems. Evolution to the current generation mobile networks to 3G doesn't necessarily mean seamless upgradation to the existing infrastructure to the 3G. Evolution should also be seen in context of coexistence of the 2G and 3G networks for some time, with users able to roam across the new and the old networks, able to access 3G services

In Ronald Bailey’s (2013) article “Your Cellphone is Spying on You,” he claims that with the recent evolution of technology the public has had less privacy, due to GPS and tracking systems. While GPS and location systems within cell phones can be viewed as beneficial to the people, it can also be used by third parties to view a person’s location at any given time. Not only can these parties access locations, they also have access to personal information within the cell phone itself. As stated by

As technology advances throughout the years, American’s privacy slowly corrodes over time. It is almost impossible to not be tracked in the United States since there are so many technologies that invades American civilian’s privacy, like cellphone’s applications and satellites. Surely near the future, there will be a device that will allow anyone who uses it to be anonymous from all technologies. For now, this device can be called Personal Anonymous Device (or PAD). PAD will bring American back their

As it has been applied since 1979, and in the absence of reevaluation, the Third-Party Doctrine is likely to impede, severely, on the privacies guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment. In order to fully understand the gravity of this predicament, the evolution of Fourth Amendment analysis must also be understood. In 1949, the Court established that the Fourth Amendment applies to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. However, it was not until 1961 that the Court held that the exclusionary rule also

company that develops consumer, aviation, and marine technologies for the Global Positioning System (GPS). It was founded in 1989 by Gerry Burrell and Min Kao in Lenexa, Kansas as ProNav, and in 2010 was incorporated in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, as the headquarters and successor to Garmin Cayman, which until then, had served as a holding company for Garmin corporation. Though their claim to fame came from their pioneering of marine and handheld GPS' for the US Army, they have since expanded into the
