| INFO 2: Uses of Military Satellites Countries use satellites in the military in various ways. Military satellites are used in the Air Force, Navy, and primarily in military detection. The United States is one of the leading countries involved in highly technologically advanced military satellites. To gain a superior system of military satellites, a country must place restrictions on civilian satellites so their uses would not go in the wrong hands. Countries use military satellites for military detection. Military detection is primarily accomplished by Navigational Systems such as the NNSS (Navy Navigational Satellite System). However, there are also other examples of measurement and intelligence collection systems. These include the nuclear detonation detection systems on Global Positioning System Satellites; radar systems such as the missile tracking and detection radar at Diyarkir. |
