Three Military Technologies Used in Automotive Industry

The technology used in today's vehicles was not entirely the result of the development engineers at automotive manufacturers. Some of them even adopting existing technologies, one of which came from the military.
The technology has been used by the US military, even since before World War II. After the war ended, automakers begin tempting advantages of using this technology in mass production cars. The reason, military technology will be increasingly easier for users while operating a vehicle.
Here are three military technology contained in passenger vehicles as reported by Topspeed, Monday (08/31/2015):

You know the devices Global Positioning System (GPS) as a navigation system that provides information lines or the position of the vehicle via satellite. Satellite technology has been used by the US Department of Defense since 1995 to guide warships or missiles were fired towards the target.
Beginning of this is the use of satellite navigation in 1960 when the US Navy tested the five satellites known as TRANSIT. This gives the satellite positioning information once every hour.

2. Turbocharger

Three years later, General Electric engineer Sanford Moss added blowerpada Liberty aircraft engine V-12. At that time, the use of turbo not as a means to minimize exhaust gas but retain air pressure at 14 psi while in the air.

3. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

The appliance ABS is a component used by the military on the bombers. ABS was first developed in 1929 by aviation pioneer and engineer from France, Gabriel Voisin.
Then, the bomber has a problem that it took a long time to stop. ABS brakes are used to help the bombers to be able to stop quickly on short runways.
The ABS system continues to be used on aircraft up to 50 years thereafter. The new electronic ABS devices used in the 1970s in aircraft and similar systems appeared on a production car General Motors in that period.

At least, there are two types of car glass, namely :

Temperred Glass
This type of glass is ordinary glass ang hardened by heating process until it reaches a temperature of 650 degrees centigrade, then cool immediately.This type of glass is relatively difficult to solve, because it has the strength of three times stronger than ordinary glass. But if pierced by a sharp object exceeds a sixth of thick glass, it will be shattered like crystal. This type of glass is usually used on the side and rear of the car. So when the collision from the side is not easily broken. However, for large passenger vehicles such as buses, this glass is its temperlite easily solved by using a special solver and usually the device attached to the wall of the vehicle. 
Laminted Glass 
Also called Lamisafe, this type of glass is formed of three layers of material, namely two glass and a sheet film (Polyvinyl Film Grain / PVB), which is in the middle sandwiched between two glass. The strength of this type of glass located at the film strong and very closely, so as to increase the strength of the glass.Another function of the film sheet which when subjected to impact, the glass will remain attached to the film. This type of glass can withstand ultraviolet rays up to 96 percent. This type of glass is used for the front of the vehicle.As we often see the windshield of the vehicle that hit hard object collision but not shattered, since the glass shards stick to the film sheets. In addition, the rider can still see the road because of damage to the glass is only concentrated on the collision area is concentrated on the area of ​​collision.
