Abstract
The US military's increasing dependence on the Global Positioning System (GPS) could become a weakness that could easily be exploited by its enemy. The US Army expects to deploy about 30,000 GPS-equipped platforms by 2006, while the US Air Force and the US Navy each expect to deploy 7,000. By that time, the services will have deployed more than 500,000 weapons reliant on some extent to GPS guidance. Aware that this increasing reliance on GPS could be their undoing, military officials have begun to take actions to mitigate the effects of hostile forces to degrade, block or mimic GPS signals.
