I was listening to a show the other day that all they were talking about is this stuff happening.
- testing jamming equipment
The circles expand with altitude and at 40,000 feet the interference will affect a circular area of the Southwest 950 nautical miles across, reaching central Oregon, Colorado and New Mexico.

You know, if anything, one can learn things (become educated on a subject) from threads. I just learned something new. And helpful.
So....I do wonder what is going on at CL. Curious. Just testing GPS systems or actually working on a defense/offense tool.

is really the only one that makes sense, technically. The issue is, what are you intending to jam?
It's EASY to "jam" GPS on a global level. So if you wanted to stop Joe Blow from using GPS whilst your soldiers still could, easy peasy, it's a couple of lines of command typed in and bob's your uncle.
So, it's got to be some sort of local thing they're trying to prevent. And again, having shown your hand that you have local jammers for some local threat, it's also easy to um...provide for other means of guidance...for your homebrew missile.
