Transit Satellite System

A Transit Satellite System, also known as the Navy Navigation Satellite System, is a type of global positioning technology used primarily by the military for precise navigation and timing. It operates by using satellites that send signals to receivers on the ground or on ships and aircraft. These signals help determine exact location, speed, and direction by calculating the time it takes for the signals to arrive. The system offers highly accurate, real-time positioning, essential for navigation in missions, research, and strategic operations, functioning reliably even in challenging environments where other navigation methods might falter.
