Timation is a term that refers to a project developed by the U.S. government in the early 1980s aimed at creating a satellite-based navigation system. The name "Timation" is derived from "Time" and "Navigation," highlighting the system's focus on using precise timing for navigation purposes. The project was part of the broader efforts that eventually led to the development of the Global Positioning System (GPS).
