The Catalyst
Russia has been jamming GPS across Eastern Europe since at least 2022. Excalibur rounds went wide. JDAMs missed. The Pentagon absorbed the lesson: any weapon, vehicle, or soldier that depends on a single GPS signal is a vulnerability. The institutional response is the Assured PNT (A-PNT) mandate — a layered policy requiring U.S. military systems to carry GPS-backup positioning as standard, not optional, equipment.
