Defence: Satellites
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of an increase in the use of satellites on GPS disruption.
Answered by Luke Pollard
Defence continually assesses the potential impacts of disruption to Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), including the US Global Positioning System (GPS), on Defence activities.
Defence is taking steps to bolster the resilience of our positioning, navigation and timing capabilities through technology fusion and increasing co-operation with relevant partners. This includes close engagement with the Department of Science Innovation and Technology and our allies to examine mitigations and alternatives across this field.
