Summary:

"Time has historically been written and mediated by powerful infrastructures, which they in turn enable. Remarking on the Chip Scale Atomic Clock, the most accurate and current technology for time-telling developed by the military, Chief for Positioning, Navigation and Timing Branch of The CERDEC, John del Colliano explains, "The goal is to provide complete atomic clock capabilities for weapons, weapon systems and the dismounted Soldier." Weapons hinge on exact time-telling. The Chip Scale Atomic Clock was built to "support efforts to provide highly accurate location and battlefield situational awareness for the dismounted soldier, even in the temporary absence of GPS capability." While there are limited civilian applications, the Chip Scale Atomic Clock also supports television broadcasting and high frequency finance trading, each industrial application necessitating the most exact, atomised measurements of time. Today, GPS time originates from a master clock within the US Naval Observatory in DC..."-- provided by distributor.
