Senate Kills GPS OCX Funding Due to Cost Overruns ‰ÛÓ Now $5.3 Billion and Rising

5.3 billing to create a closed network, jamming proof GPS system...... Hmmm, I seem to remember the senate mothballing the radio-positioning system(utilized as a backup navigation system to GPS), even after it was proven that a GPS could be jammed with $12 worth of radio shack parts.

Never doubt the short-sightedness of humans in power.

Radio Shack filed for bankruptcy. Problem solved.

McGiver a microwave oven into a transmitter.

I was working in a low altitude mapping mission in close proximity to a TV broadcast antenna. GPS was no tango. Jamming and spoofing isn't hard.
