•GPS provides PNT services, on which the United States relies for telecommunications, power grids, financial transactions, maps and more.•But, satellite-based systems, like GPS, have coverage limitations indoors and in urban canyons with weak signal strength. •As a space-based service, GPS is vulnerable to spoofing and jamming by rogueactors and state actors, as well as natural phenomena like solar flares. Terrestrial GPS Complement & Backup is Urgently Needed “A day without GPS would wreak havoc.” November 2024Former reps. GregWalden and LorettaSanchezfor Broadband Breakfast April 2025 “A day without accurate and available PNT services is a scenario the U.S. cannot afford.” Rear Admiral, USN (ret.) David Simpson, RADM USN (ret.), Professor at VT, Amplin College May 2025“GPS, the backbone of weapons systems, encrypted communications, the financial system and telecommunications networks, is increasingly at risk. Our adversaries understand this.”Rear Admiral. Lorin Selby (retired) July 2025“Texans saw that truth when a mysterious jammer grounded flights over Dallas. The next outage could be far worse."Adm. Michael Rogers, U.S. Navy (Ret.), served simultaneously as commander of the U.S. Cyber Command and director of the National Security Agency July 2025“DARPA project demonstrated that, for less than $300 in parts from Amazon, one could “create a very bad day for the American military.” Thomas Rondeau, Ph.D., principal director for FutureG at DOD.
