Mk-3 Navigation
Principle of Operation
The Global Positioning System is a satellite based system developed by the US Department
of Defense that provides both military and civilian users accurate information about
location.
The GPS system uses 24 satellites in six
orbits 12,550 miles above the Earth mov-
ing at 1.7mi per second. Usually 7 to 10
satellites are in view over any one point on
the earth.
The GPS satellites are basically extremely
accurate clocks that broadcast a coded
signal representing time. The GPS receiver
determines it’s distance from the satellite
by measuring the time it takes between
satellite transmission of the signal and
reception to the receiver. The receiver
does this with at least 2 other satellites and
uses the information to determine the vehi-
cles latitude, longitude, and altitude. The
accuracy of the system for civilian use is
within 100m (300ft).
The vehicle must have an unobstructed view of the sky to receive the maximum amount of
satellite signals. Trees, large buildings and excessive cloud cover can block the reception
of the satellites’ transmissions.
