Has GPS been partially disabled as a consequence of Trumps vist to the UK?

[D.P.]

It can be done selectively, "Privileged" users will not be disrupted.



Actually, that is wrong!

"First strike" strategy was never about randomly incinerating cities. It was about destroying the "Enemies" ability to retaliate.

If you are trying to destroy a serious nuclear grade bunker, accuracy is crucial. Even with a megaton range weapon. 100M off target, (Even 50M) will fail to do the job.

Correct . The US opened GPS to the public when they realized the Russians had a similarly good system.anyway, and IMUs got so accurate that GPS was not even that relevant.

The US does posses the ability to encrypt GPS again reducing but it it not likely to do it.


And they certainly wouldn't bother for Trump in the UK.

Why even try when Beidou and Glosnass will still be available.

I blame Huawei.

This was an interesting spoof attack back in 2017, but not a jamming attack as such:

Probably more something to do with Nonce Finder General Musk and his satellites, rather than the US President.

Very mature. Well done. Internet cookie for you.

Apparently this could actually be a thing.

Not like you couldn't use GLONASS or Galileo instead.

So far as I am aware, both Galileo and BeiDou are still "under development"; does any SatNav device or SmartPhone currently available in the UK use GLONASS?

I believe that some GPS devices have access to both the US GPS and the Russian GLONASS system although I have never actually seen one and I imagine they would be "pricey".

I think my Mavic uses more than GPS, at least it seems to lock onto more satellites than I think should be avaliable from GPS alone.

That is where the pricey bit comes in

I think it's just he is too fat and blocking the signal.

Almost all modern phones have GLONASS

Well my watch uses Galileo, Glonass and GPS so they must work.

My Garmin Edge 1000 cycle computer is several years old and supports GLONASS

That massive baby blimp the BBC keep banging on about is probably blocking reception.

Take your shiny hat off please

Think you said it to the wrong person .

You can never be too careful.
