Not so long ago, there was a news story about the EU comming up with, and launching their own GPS system.
I quote from the article
"The paper also reported that a disagreement between the US and the EU regarding Galileo at a London conference resulted in a threat to blow up the planned satellites. The European delegates reportedly said that they would not turn off or jam signals from their satellites, even if they were used in a war with the US."
Maybe this is just the USAF Jumping the gun, and getting one up on the EU Nations, so that when they do go live with their GPS System, it won't seem that this jamming system is targeted specifically at it.

Smart enough to get their parents to clean their crap up, so that they don't have to stop playingtv remote demolition derby.

We have also been using them for years in Star Trek. How else could we keep picard from floating out into space every time he blows up a starship?
