Applications
Military defense is classified by three types of applications. Spy Satellites, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and Network-Centric Warfare (NSW). Spy satellites are used to for high resolution photography, eavesdropping, and covert communications, in search of an advantage in military intelligence.

GPS also allows commanders to view the battle field in real time, aiding NSW, and allowing for greater command and control of military forces. -
