Answer & Explanation:

By utilizing the Global Positioning System (GPS), military and civil users can determine their geographical locations with greater accuracy. It is based on the use of satellites in orbit around the Earth that broadcast information that can be used to measure the distance between the satellites and the user.

A satellite network transmits radio signals from space to a controller on the ground. Global Positioning System ( GPS ) satellites are most familiar to users of satellite navigation.

I truly hope this is right and it helped! :)
