The problem with GPS satellites is that they make rather easy targets because they are so precisely located.
The only defense against an impending attack would be to degrade or turn off the system, but that would be ineffective if a second precision navigation system is available.
So, what this all means is that a GPS war seems unavoidable because whoever shoots first wins, unless they both shoot at the same time.
And since no GPS means no hi-tech wars, what next: slingshots?
