Beijing Could Exploit Vulnerability In Electromagnetic Domain
The recent US approval of an $11 billion arms package for Taiwan has heightened tensions across the Taiwan Strait, with Beijing warning of potential military confrontation. However, a more pressing concern is the US’s overwhelming dependence on GPS for positioning, navigation, and timing, which could be disrupted or deceived by China, undermining US deterrence and operational effectiveness. According to Breaking Defense, the US needs to develop a more resilient system-of-systems approach to PNT to mitigate this risk.
