A GPS Blackout Would Shut Down the World

About 12,500 miles On our head, satellites that make up satellites Global placement system (GPS) silently misses the world. One darkening It would be almost as a result of instant chaos.

“You see more traffic accidents, because we will see the first most immediate effects of traffic,” said Dana Goward, a charity that works to strengthen the founder of continuous navigation and time foundation, GPS.

Thousands of aircraft in the air, which uses GPS among other systems for navigation and precise decline, would encounter a wave of uncertainty. Then other critical parts of society – from Financial transactions The exact placement and time of 31 GPS satellites of the 31 GPS satellite will be relied on energy production systems (PNT). Ripples will be felt around the world.

“If you are in the blink of an eye and completely lost the GPS, you see this global seizure, all that moves will be closed. The time signals of the GPS will be one of the most effective losses, probably collapsed. Deleted quickly in the conditions of violation of the stock markets.

There is a GPS cut, having a heavy confidence in its sovereign space system, which can also be a heavy trust in its sovereign space system dragged their legs In backups that may meet the required requirements for the use of the country. The US, National Space Based PNT Advisory Council left behind He warned last year. On the contrary, China, the more modern satellite navigation system – beidou-beidou-fiber-optic-optic cables and surface radio signals have strengthened a more modern satellite navigation system.

The conditions needed to cause the entire GPS network to be completely demolished were extraordinary and likely to come with more broad public traces. For example, such an intersection may cause Chinese or Russia He fires satellite weapons against GPS satellites (the United States have Satellite weapons), strong Geomagnetic Stormor Escalation in practice electronic warfare.

Despite being believed in a general cut, GPS is not innocent. He has his demons. “Whatever really, the regional, mixes with GPS and squeezes and intervenes regularly,” he said. Thousands of plane and ship have their GPS intervened with Every week and alerts are regularly violated around war zones.

“America was not well done,” he said. More work should be done to build PNA systems that can act as a rear support for the space-based GPS signals. “There is no general awareness. Of course, there is no solid PNA architecture or any other PNA architecture other than GPS.”
