GPS vulnerability is a serious national security issue and many federal departments have a role. But if this is everyone’s responsibility, no one is responsible.
The increasing sophistication of jamming and spoofing technologies by adversaries like Russia and China makes GPS vulnerability a more pressing national security concern.
Reliable Position Navigation and Timing (PNT) is foundational to military operations and critical infrastructure, making GPS resilience a strategic imperative for national security.
The growing focus on GPS resiliency indicates a potential shift toward greater diversification and hardening of PNT capabilities beyond a single system.

- · Satellite communication companies
- · Cybersecurity firms
- · Nations heavily reliant on unhardened GPS
- · Systems vulnerable to PNT disruption
- · Russia and adversaries facing enhanced PNT defenses
Increased investment in alternative PNT technologies and resilient GPS systems.
Development of a multi-spectrum, multi-system approach to PNT for military and critical infrastructure use.
