so the GPS info gets sent through the aerial then fed into a computer which then pan and tilts the aerial, thats cool, how does it go up and down though with GPS? GPS only gives lat and long
Most receivers utilise the NMEA 0183 protocol definition. These are a number of sentences that provide different information to the host, the GPGAA sentences contains 3D position information, LAT LONG ALT(above a datum, usually WGS84) along with a whole lot more. They also usually have a binary manufacture specific protocol for higher speed, lower through put applications. So with this application all you need is the aircraft pos and the ground station pos to calculate the azitmuth and elevation

GPS gives you alot more then just LAT LONG, even with the most basic receiver

No, it is steered using the gps telemetry from the aircraft.
