Certain gov't agencies have jammed gps frequencies for years for one reason
or another. There is also a protocol for falsifying the time transmission.
Using this method, you can take a North Korean missle and turn it around to
make it hit its home country by making it think it is somewhere that it
really is not.

I assume that foreign misssiles use GPS to navigate, so this is smart move,
except that Russia also has a GPS system independent of ours. I suspect
that
Russia would also shutdown in crisis, leaving aircraft and ships to rely
on
their old sextants and RDFs.


WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush has ordered plans for temporarily
disabling
the U.S. network of global positioning satellites during a national crisis
to
prevent terrorists from using the navigational technology, the White House
said
Wednesday.

Any shutdown of the network inside the United States would come under only
the
most remarkable circumstances, said a Bush administration official who
spoke to
a small group of reporters at the White House on condition of anonymity.

RM390,

The GPS System would not have to be "Shut Down" just switched over
to an {Encrypted} Signal.

Civilian 'users' would be temporally "Locked-Out" of the GPS System.

"Only" the US Military certain Federal Agencies would have the
necessary equipment to }Decode{ the GPS Signals.
