A positioningsystem is a mechanism for determining the location of an object in space. Technologies for this task exist ranging from worldwide coverage with meter accuracy to workspace coverage with sub millimetre accuracy. Interplanetary systems Interplanetary radio communication system not only communicate with spacecraft, but are also used to determine their position. This can be done either using a transponder on board a spacecraft that echoes a radio signal back, or using radar . Orientation information can be obtained using star tracker s. Global systems Global navigation satellite system s GNSS allow specialized radio receivers to determine their 3 D space position, as well as time, with an accuracy of 2 20 metres or tens of nanoseconds. Currently deployed systems use microwave signals that can only be received reliably outdoors and that cover most of Earth s surface, as well as near Earth space. The existing and planned systems are GlobalPositioningSystem US military system, fully operational since 1995 GLONASS a partially completed Russian military system Galileo satellite navigation Galileo a planned European civilian system Regional systems Networks of land based positioning transmitter allow specialized radio receivers to determine their 2 D position on the surface of the Earth. They are generally less accurate than GNSS because the propagation of their signals is not entirely restricted to line of sight, and they have only regional coverage. However, they remain useful for special purposes and as a backup as some of their signals are more reliably to receive, including underground and in indoor environments, and receivers can be built that consume very low battery power.

Global network positioning is a coordinates based mechanism in a peer to peer network architecture which predicts Internet network distance i.e. round trip propagation and transmission delay . The mechanism is based on absolute coordinates computed from modeling the Internet as a geometric space. Since end hosts maintain their own coordinates, the approach allows end hosts to compute their inter host distances as soon as they discover each other. Moreover, coordinates are very efficient in summarizing inter host distances, making the approach very scalable . References T. S.

Unlike GlobalPositioningSystem GPS or other global navigation satellite system s, which are positioning systems with a global coverage, local positioning systems don t use technology that has global coverage they use local technology or technology that has local coverage. Examples of this local technology include cellphone cellular base station s, Wi Fi access points used by the Skyhook Wireless system , and broadcast tower s. Local positioning systems or LPS are used as complementary and in some cases alternative positioning technology to GPS, especially in areas where GPS does not reach or is weak, for example, inside buildings, or urban canyon s.

Hybrid positioning systems are systems for finding the location of a mobile device using several different positioning technologies .

By comparison, cell tower signals are not hindered by buildings or bad weather, but usually provide less precise positioning. Wi Fi signals may give very exact positioning, but only in urban areas with high Wi Fi density and depend on a comprehensive database of Wi Fi access points. Hybrid positioning systems are increasingly being explored for certain civilian and commercial location based service s and location based media , which need to work well in urban areas in order to be commercially and practically viable.

A probe positioningsystem is a tool for the positioning of a hand held measuring device, such as an ultrasound transducer in a fixed, predetermined place to the object, such as a patient. The operation of these systems varies from completely manual, to completely automated. In semi automated probe positioning systems, a control system corrects for the movement of the object or disturbances in the environment. These systems can use a tilt, pressure or other sensor carried by the probe to collect positional data. The positioner, such as a robotic arm is coupled to the probe. The positioner can provide roll and pitch control as well as translating the probe in lateral and longitudinal directions. A central processing unit processor receives signals from the sensors corresponding to the actual orientation of the probe and controls the positioner to adjust the orientation of the probe until the desired position is achieved.

Orphan date February 2009 unreferenced date March 2008 A Global Locating System GLS is any system that operates via satellite around the world. Basically it helps to determine a location on Earth s surface in longitude and latitude.In addition, most syetem imple,entations support tracking, the depiction of a track of sequentially determined locations. Commonly the terms locating GLS where is it? and positioning GPS where does it go to? are set equivalent. However the positioning task originates from the first military approaches on final locating, determining the cruise of a missile from launch to location of impact. Hence GLS refers to the surveying tasks and GPS refers to the navigating tasks. Other interpretations might neglect the etymologic background of the terms. An early example of GLS was the Sarsat Search and Rescue satellite system. In GLS, a minimal set of positioning data e.g. signal arrival time or frequency offset or doppler shift Doppler data is collected and relayed via a satellite link. Equipment installed in the satellite Ground station demodulates the data and computes the latitude and longitude of the remote transmitter. GLS is in use by Skybitz , Cospas Sarsat . and the Argos System . Category GPS Category Satellite ground stations technology stub ... more details

Global Command and Control System GCCS is a collection of Service oriented architecture SOA systems and applications which was developed to replace the Worldwide Military Command and Control System . Three major versions exist to address the United States Department of Defense DoD and NATO service component operational requirements for battlespace management Maritime for US Navy & Marine Corps , Army for US Army and Air Force , and Joint for interoperability with NATO partners . Applications GCCS systems expose web services which are used by many applications supporting combat operations, intelligence analysis and production, targeting, ground weapons and radar analysis, as well as terrain and weather analysis.
