Like many who had the pleasure of interacting with the genius that was Steven Paul “Steve” Jobs, I have been reflecting recently concerning his incredible impact on our lives. Indeed his impact on every aspect of our lives including GPS is almost beyond description. For example, our warfighters are increasingly using iPads and iPhones in theater for multiple functions, including some dedicated and warfighter-developed GPS applications that far outshine any GPS application provided by the government. When will we learn that we must provide our warfighters what they need or they will go elsewhere to find it because lives are at stake? Today many of our warriors are developing their own applications on their individual iPads and iPhones, exactly as Steve Jobs intended.
During the Institute of Navigation Satellite Division conference (ION GNSS 2011), I may have made a major mistake by being dragged kicking and screaming into the controversy that dominated its opening days. Excitement can be a relative term — if the sheer panic, and doom and gloom of what appears to be an impossible situation could be termed excitement. The dominating issue throughout the Tuesday CGSIC meeting, and in the conference rooms, corridors, and on the floor of the exhibition and technical conference later in the week, was clearly the LightSquared (LS) waiver situation.
