who'd be doing the jamming?
“There is every reason to believe China’s BeiDou global navigation satellite system has the ability to imitate American GPS signals and those of Europe’s Galileo,” said Professor Todd Humphreys of the University of Texas Radionavigation Lab...
looks like our systems need some sort of security update. problem is, would all of our GPS receivers need updated too? maybe a GPS 2.0 or something?
Or we just arm our gps satellites and let them pick out and disable offensive satellites. Might be cheaper.
The only thing that can stop a bad GPS satellite is a good GPS satellite with a gun.
Aren't the satellites already up to GPS III now? If a hardware upgrade is required, seems ilke it would be GPS IV.
