Not all the satellites in the Gulf War tracked Scuds, spotted hidden bunkers or eavesdropped on whispered orders; some just sat in orbit and warbled coded time signals. But these satellites, which make up the Global Positioning System (GPS), were as vital as any others. They allowed troops with portable radio receivers to find their way across trackless desert and end up exactly where they wanted to be. Having seen its success, the American forces are busily equipping everything, from battleships to cruise missiles, with GPS systems. The technology may have as many applications in peace as in war——or even more.
