HerearesomeofthespecificapplicationsofGNSS:
PNavigation: GNSS can be used to determine the position of objects on
Earth. This information can be used for navigation, surveying, and
mapping.
Timing: GNSS can be used to provide accurate timekeeping. This
information can be used for a variety of purposes, such as
telecommunications, financialtransactions,arid scientificresearch.
Earth observation: GNSS can be used to monitor changes in the Earth's
surface,suchasdeformationofthecrustandmovementofglaciers.This
information can be used to study natural hazards and to plan for
sustainabledevelopment.
Security: GNSS can be used to track the movement of objects and to
verifytheauthenticityofdata.Thisinformationcanbeusedforavariety
ofpurposes,suchasbordersecurityandanti-terrorism.
ThesearejustafewofthemanyapplicationsofGNSS.AsGNSStechnology

Remotesensing istheacquisitionof informationaboutanobjectorphenomenon without
making physical contact with it. Remote sensing data can be collected from a variety of
platforms,including aircraft, satellites,and drones.
Therearetwomaintypesofremotesensingdata:
• Activeremotesensing:Thistypeofremotesensingusesasensorthatemitsenergy, such
as a radar or lidar sensor. The energy emitted by the sensor is reflected or
scattered by theobject being measured, and the sensor measures the reflected or
scattered energy.
• Passiveremote sensing:Thistypeofremotesensing usesasensorthatonlyrecords
energythatisemitted bytheobjectbeingmeasured,suchosacameraorathermal
sensor.
Remotesensingdata canbeusedforavarietyofapplications,including:
• Mappingandmonitoringlanduse andcover:Remotesensingdatacan&usedtomap
thedistributionofdifferentlandcovertypes,suchasforests, agriculture, and urban
areas.Thisinformation canbeusedtotrack changesinland useovertime.
• Monitoring environmental change:Remote sensing data can be used to monitor
environmentalchanges,suchasdeforestation,desertification,andclimatechange.
• Naturalresource management:Remote sensing datacanbeused tomanage natural
resources,such asforests, water, andminerals.
• Disastermanagement:Remotesensingdatacanbeusedtomonitorandrespondto
naturaldisasters,suchasfloods,earthquakes,andtsunamis.
GeographicalInformationSystem (GIS)
A geographical information system (GIS) is a computer system that captures, stores,
analyzes,manages,andpresentsspatialdata.GISdatacanbeusedtocreatemaps,analyze
spatial relationships, and model spatial processes.
GIScanbeusedforavarietyofapplications,including:
 • Spatialanalysis:GIScanbeusedtoanalyzespatialrelationships,suchasthedistance
betweentwopoints ortheareaofapolygon.
• Modeling:GIScanbe usedtomodelspatialprocesses,suchasthespreadofadisease or
theflow of traffic.
• Decisionmaking: GIS canbeusedtosupportdecisionmakingbyproviding
informationabout thespatialdistributionofdata.
GlobalNavigationSatelliteSystem(GNSS)
A global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is a network of satellites that are used to
determine the location of objects onEartk GNSSsystems include GPS, GLONASS, Galileo,
and BeiDou.
GNSScanbeusedforavarietyofapplications,including:
• Navigation:GNSScanbeusedtonavigatevehicles,suchascars,ships, andairplanes.
• Surveying:GNSScanbeusedtosurveylandandbuildings.
• Precisionagriculture:GNSScan beusedtoguideagriculturalmachinery.
• Searchandrescue:GNSS canbeused to locatepeople who are
lostorinjured.RemoteSensing,GIS,andGNSSareallpowerfultoolsthatcanbeusedtocollect,an
