The Hidden Genius Behind GPS
Dr. Gladys West is an American mathematician whose groundbreaking work at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in the 1950s-80s laid the foundation for the Global Positioning System (GPS). Her precise calculations of Earth's shape using satellite data made modern navigation possible.
A pioneer in geodesy and satellite geodesy, Dr. West's contributions remained largely unrecognized for decades until she was inducted into the Air Force Space and Missile Pioneers Hall of Fame in 2018.
