mission: GPS navigation
Intelligence:
don’t ever get lost again with a portable GPS system. You never will need to ask for directions again once you own a GPS navigator. Most GPS systems are very easy to follow and most even speak to you. You can take your GPS in the woods and choose a destination and mark your starting point, it’s that simple. Be aware not all places will give you the perfect GPS signal, especially heavily wooded areas.
When on a mission, snipers have to cover a lot of ground silently, tactically, and accurately. Think about it. A sniper needs to get within firing distance of his objective without being seen or heard by the enemy. He can't exactly be inserted by helicopter, nor can he be dropped off by truck, without the enemy being aware of his existence. Generally, military snipers will move under cover of night, with PVS-7 NODs (night vision goggles) on their heads. Sound and light discipline are practiced, so there is nothing for enemy patrols to see or hear. Modern snipers rely on Global Positioning Systems, or GPS as it’s ubiquitously known, to

| stay exactly on their plotted course. Always, the objective will be pre-programmed in. GPS is a global navigational satellite system developed by the US Defense Department and managed by the US Air Force 50th Space Wing. GPS can be used freely by anyone on the planet, in fact GPS is often used by civilians for navigation. GPS navigation systems work by trilaterating your position with at least three of 24 - 32 medium Earth orbit satellites. GPS units are so accurate, in fact, that modern GPS readings are within 66 feet of your exact location. Military tactical GPS units are even more accurate. Civilian GPS units have evolved to be so accurate, that many boaters prefer to use them to gauge speed, because they are often more precise than the boat's speedometer. Snipers us it, boaters use it, and you can use it too. GPS. Never get lost again! |
