| Abstract | There is no question that war has led to some of the greatest technological developments and scientific advances for all of humankind. Many of the tools we use today are taken for granted, and some underestimate the contribution that military science and research have brought to enhancing the everyday lives of billions. The highly complex and ubiquitous Global Positioning System (GPS), for example, was once solely a military technology with limited availability. Today, nearly every modern smartphone bought and sold has the capability to access a shared satellite network for the benefit of businesses, governments, militaries, and consumers alike. From aiding the precision targeting of missiles to mapping the ocean floor to planning a bicycle route to and from work, GPS (first introduced in 1978) is now a staple of twenty-first-century life. |
