Introduction
The term GPS refers to the global positioning system which is a kind of
navigation system including a constellation of satellites and a network of
ground stations for monitoring locations. It is a satellite-based system
developed by the United States government and operated by the US air
force (Dornan, et al., 2018). The major point of GPS is that it does not
require the consumers to transfer any signal and it operates independently
of any internet reception using communication protocols. The significance
of this research is to determine the importance of the GPS system in the
aeronautical engineering and aviation sectors. It is argued that GPS plays a
major role in the aviation sector as it helps to monitor the locations of
aircraft and reduce barriers. This report will cover numerous aspects such
as the working of GPS, features of GPS, the role of GPS in aircraft and many
more.
GPS System
It is defined as a space-based radio system which is mainly used for
navigation purpose that means users can track and monitor the location of
another device. From the recent study, it is examined that the GPS system
delivers reliable location and time information in all situations and helps
consumers to control and monitor the navigation of others. It is argued that
the GPS system plays a crucial character in aircraft as it is capable to track
the location of aircraft in an effective manner (Haass, Craiger, and Kessler,
2018). It is mainly used in the aviation sectors for monitoring the current
location of aircraft which helps in the reduction of aircraft crash and other
accidents. It has the potential to enhance the safety and effectiveness of
flight due to which it is used in the aircraft systems. Therefore, using GPS
systems management can take departure, arrival and en-route information
of aircraft in an appropriate manner.
