As the rest of the thread up to this point indicates, there is a

desire to
redirect a GPS guided munition post launch. The means to reprogram
the munition would require some data link.


Actually, data link is NOT a hard requirement. There have been

several
initiatives in work for many years on autonomous terminal seekers --

TLAM
is
one significant example, though it may not have used GPS. I worked

with
some
relevant JSOW (then AIWS) P3I proposals at TI and a couple other

places
back in '90 and '91.


Irrelevent.

GPS with FOG does all that already.


Fibre Optic Gyro.


GPS with a gyro of any kind does not make for post-launch reprogramming or
retargeting of the weapon.


That is true.
