Re: I don't agree that just because a technology appeared in civilian applications in the 90's that it derived from a cold-war dividend. GPS is technically ancient... ...You are attempting to establish a military link to civilian technologies where none necessarily exists. Certain the DOD gets the research dollar first The DOD spent Billions building a network of low orbit satellites. GPS is purely a military technology that has had serendipitous civilian benefits. There is no such thing as GPS without U.S. DOD satellites. It's 100% a U.S. military program. The mighty U.S. Armed Forces in action. Period.
