十年前,地面导航还是少数部队可以提供的奢侈品;只能在少数先进的作战平台上看到,即主要装备在主战坦克和大口径自行火炮上。GPS(全球定位系统)接收器的广泛使用使得这种设备达到了可以大量装备地步,以至于像战术电台一样随处可见。 地面导航,尤其是采用GPS地面导航在沙漠盾牌行动中曾显得非常可贵。在几乎是不毛之地的沙漠上作战的多国部队曾采用了GPS系统,提高了炮兵部队、装甲车辆和不同的传感器的作战能力。一种精确的导航系统降低了友军部队暴露于敌火力之下的可能性,也增强了 Ten years ago, ground navigation was a luxury that a few troops could provide; it could only be seen on a few advanced combat platforms, mainly equipped with main battle tanks and large-caliber self-propelled artillery. The widespread use of GPS (Global Positioning System) receivers has made this device so versatile that it can be found everywhere as tactical radio. Ground navigation, especially the use of GPS ground navigation has been very valuable in the desert shield operations. The multinational force that has fought in the almost barren desert has used GPS to improve the combat capabilities of artillery units, armored vehicles and different sensors. An accurate navigation system reduces the possibility of friendly forces being exposed to enemy fire and enhances
