The FAA is marching toward sole dependence on GPS- Is that a mistake?

The FAA is marching toward sole dependence on GPS. However,
the FAA engineers and controllers are screaming from the
mountaintops PLEASE do not single thread North American
airspace navigation on satellite only.

Yes GPS is awesome. Yes GPS has and will change our lives.
But the signal is small and vulnerable. From an
infrastructure perspective all you have to do is jam the
down link. IF we were GPS only in North American Air Traffic
control the Chinese or sophisticated internal terrorism
could shut down the system.

High Power GPS jammers energized at coordinated locations
near big cities. Mobile jammers in vans. GPS jammers and
Spoofers on balloons launched up wind from major cities.

We would come to our knees. It would take days to sort out
the jammer locations while our entire economy is crippled.

GPS can be PRIMARY But!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we should have a
secondary Robust ground network for Navigation and
Communication of aircraft, military, trucks and ships and
trains and people.

Use an integrated GPS/VOR/DME/LORAN concept. All GPS
receivers sold after 2010 everywhere should be capable of
picking up all four systems. FOUR separate frequencies for
more spectrum jamming difficulty. Keep ILS at major airports.

If the idiots in FAA Management that are filled with
clueless failed diversity experiment's allow our nations
civil and military air traffic control to hang on the single
thread of GPS the Chinese will be choking on their egg rolls
laughing so hard. And the Russians will snort vodka out
their nose.

Mission should ALWAYS come first. Politically Correct warm
and fuzzy bull**** can wait.
