(a) GPS technology

It makes use of the GPS you're familiar with GPS in your automobile, but you may not be familiar with the fact that there's a GPS U.S., there's a Russian GPS, and there's a new GPS system going to Europe, called Galileo.

OIOS noted that over 90 per cent of UNMOs believed that the use of advanced technology such as night vision equipment, GPS and tracking technology for locating vehicles and hostages could improve their operational effectiveness.

With the advent of the Global Positioning System (GPS), it became possible to measure continental drift directly.

It also intends to become a member of the international GPS service.

Satellite based location units are also being installed on mission vehicles to allow easier tracking and navigation.

There is a need to ship SDS in smaller shipping units to locations that do not have adequate handling equipment.

The Department uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) in its peacekeeping missions, for their military and civilian components.

In particular, the presence of heavy earth moving equipment was noted in a number of different locations along the Upper Lofa.

The increased sophistication of traditional wooden dhows compounded by their lack of regulation and proper registration (at least in Somalia) has made them the mode of choice for arms embargo violators, in particular for arms originating from a neighbouring Gulf State.

The Qaa Qaa industrial complex was among the sites possessing the greatest quantity of dual use production equipment, whose fate is now unknown.

In a sense, the two platforms are global communities, each engaged in a constant process of determining community norms as the use of the platforms evolves.

The Department is also evaluating options and plans to test and install GPS differential base stations, on a pilot basis, in some of its missions.

The view was expressed by some delegations that there was a need for States to support targeted studies to determine the factors that motivate the loss and disposal of fishing gear at sea.

This information sharing tool will also be the basis of a future virtual emergency operations centre, integrated with geographic information and global positioning systems.

The pirates off the coast of Somalia are trained fighters, often dressed in military fatigues, using speedboats equipped with satellite phones and Global Positioning System equipment.

The 58 sites (containing equipment shown in table 3 above) include several of the key production sites for both solid and liquid propellant missiles.

The local chapter of the Internet Society (ISOC) for Yemen posted calls on both their Facebook and Twitter accounts asking followers to identify all websites that were inaccessible. Thus far, news sites including Mareb Press, Yemen Voice, Sahafa Net, Al Sahwa Net and Yemen Press appear to have been blocked.

The team made a detailed register of the verification work, recording each position visited, confirming the geographic location accurately by the use of both map and global positioning system (GPS), recording the number of photographs taken of the position and noting any remarks about the position.

If it means a number of fixed or static targets over a large area, such as armour in defensive positions, these could in theory be attacked by a number of GPS (global positioning system) guided weapons released from a single aircraft in a single pass.

The sites mentioned in the preceding paragraph possessed dual use equipment of all types and characteristics. The equipment was constructed of material considered as most relevant for chemical warfare related purposes.

The Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) is actively contributing to the International Earth Rotation Service through analysis of global positioning system (GPS) and very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) measurements.

The key components of the system consist of a tail section with aerodynamic control surfaces, a (body) strake kit, and a combined inertial guidance system and GPS guidance control unit.

This growing interest is reinforced by initiatives such as the creation of a task group on GNSS within the framework of the United Nations Geographic Information Working Group, the generation in countries of inventories of devices that could be used for different data collection exercises or to answer specific needs linked to complex emergencies.
