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):
1. GPS
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
Technically, the idea turbocharger patented inventions since 1905, but newly constructed and sequenced on the machine in 1915. Engineer Frenchman named Auguste Rateau who became the first turbo merangkaikannya with Renault engines for aircraft.
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.
