US Vulnerability

The US approval of a $11 billion weapons package for Taiwan has elevated tensions across the Taiwan Strait. China's layered approach to GPS disruption using terrestrial and fiber-based assets provides an operational tempo advantage if US forces operate under degraded or deceptive GPS conditions.

The Pentagon has released a new annual assessment, warning that China's military buildup is increasing the vulnerability of the US homeland to threats. The report highlights China's expansion in cyber, space, and nuclear capabilities, as well as its efforts to achieve a 'strategic decisive victory' over Taiwan by 2027.
