Die Timeline ist ja richtig spannend
1965
Sercel founded as electronics company in France.

1978
NAVSTAR (Navigation System with Timing And Ranging), now known as GPS (Global Positioning System), launched by U.S. Department of Defense for military use, with 11 satellites in orbit.

1980
GPS atomic clocks onboard satellites activated. MLR Electronique, a radio-navigation (and later consumer GPS) company is founded in France.

1982
First GLONASS satellites launched by the Russian Federation Ministry of Defense.

1983
GPS declassified by President Reagan after a Korean Airliner was shot down by Soviet fighters. GPS moves from pure military effort to public project.

1985
First European GPS receiver developed by Sercel.

1986
Magellan Systems Corporation consumer GPS company founded in California.

1987
Ashtech Corporation, a professional products GPS company, is founded in California.

1989
Magellan NAV 1000 introduced as the world's first commercial handheld GPS receiver. First differential GPS receiver introduced by Ashtech Corporation.

1994
Orbital Sciences Corporation acquires Magellan Systems Corporation.

1995
Full constellation of 24 GPS satellites in orbit; system declared fully operational.

1996
Sercel sells its radio-positioning division to Dassault Electronique. A joint venture is formed under the name Dassault Sercel Navigation Positioning. U.S. President Clinton authorizes SA to be phased out to provide civilians worldwide with greater GPS accuracy.

1997
Magellan introduces first handheld global satellite communicator; the GSC 100. Magellan Systems merges with Ashtech Corporation to become Magellan Corporation. Magellan launches world's first handheld GPS receiver priced under $100.

1998
Dassault Electronique becomes full owner of Dassault Sercel N.P.

1999
Dassault Electronique merges with two Thomson-CSF subsidiaries. The three become one company; Thomson-CSF Detexis. Following merger, Dassault Sercel Navigation Positioning becomes DSNP.

2000
DSNP acquires MLR Electronique. The same year, Thomson-CSF changes its name to Thales Group. Selective Availability phased out as a result of the 1996 executive order by U.S. President Clinton. Civilians can now achieve 10-15 meter accuracy, compared to the previously available 100-meter accuracy. This is a major win for the GPS industry and for GPS consumers.

2001
As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thales Group, DSNP changes its name to Thales Navigation, S.A. Thales Group acquires Magellan Corporation, merges it with Thales Navigation, S.A. to form Thales Navigation, a global GPS leader.
