My purpose herein is to give readers a top-level perspective on how GPS works and how we use its services and to provide insights into the most important technical and political factors affecting its long-term availability as the critical component in a dynamic international infrastructure. The unheralded emergence of GPS is quietly, but effectively, revolutionizing the way modern society manages and uses the resources inherent in and related to position and time. In fact, the uniqueness of its integrating utility has stimulated the creation of a new word. Coined by Dr. Kirk Lewis of the Institute for Defense Analyses, the word “positime” (Pt) captures the essence of a marriage of three-dimensional position and time into a four-di-mensional construct of immense usefulness in the future world of electronically enabled human endeavor. Further, the reality that its emergent contributions to international security and economic enterprise have already created dependencies that have gone largely unnoticed has led me to call GPS “the invisible infrastructure.” I will address that invisible infrastructure from several perspectives: first, a brief description of how GPS operates, simple in concept, but complex in implementation; next, a summary of its myriad applications and some of the intricate technological relationships and dependencies that have already evolved; and finally, a brief overview of the complex political environment within which GPS is financed and operated by the U.S. government for its global multiplicity of benefits.
