Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System, or GPS for short, is a satellite-based navigation system operated by the United States Department of Defense.
Global Positioning System: A navigation sensor based on satellites. A Global Positioning System (GPS) provides highly accurate navigation data such as position, velocity, and time reference.
Global Positioning System (GPS) - A system of 24 satellites used as reference points to enable navigators equipped with GPS receivers to determine their latitude, longitude, and altitude.
GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS) - A navigational system that uses a series of satellites orbiting the earth to provide non-precision guidance in azimuth, elevation, and distance measurement.

Paper charts will still be required in addition to a local GPS transmitter that may or may not be capable of avoiding any military induced GPS errors. A faulty navigation signal is flagged within 30 seconds.
GPS (Global Positioning System) - Global Positioning System (Navstar). Navigational system using orbiting satellites to determine the aircraft's position on the Earth.
GPS (Global Positioning System) Satellite-based navigation system operated by Department of Defense, providing extremely accurate position, time, and speed
information to civilian and military users.
GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS)- A space- base radio positioning, navigation, and time-transfer system.

All HOSTILE aircraft of a designated track (or against which a mission was tasked) are shot down.
global positioning system - A worldwide radio-navigation system formed from a matrix of satellites and their ground stations. GPS is funded by and controlled by the U. S. Department of Defense (DOD).
The global positioning system is made up of 24 military-owned satellites and the ground stations that keep them working effectively.
GPS: Global Positioning System.
Ground Effect: The effect of ground interference on the airflow patterns around an aircraft when the aircraft is close to the ground.
GPS (global positioning system) is a necessary accessory when flying competitions, where it has to be demonstrated that way-points have been correctly passed.
GPS = Global Positioning System. It uses a system of satellites transmitting on approximately 1.5 gigahertz.
DME = Distance-Measuring Equipment. It uses the frequency band from 962 to 1213 megahertz.
VOR = Very-high-frequency Omni Range.
