GPS er og blir et militært system

For å understøtte påstanden, så dukket det opp en historie fredag som hittil har vært ukjent. Den demonstrerer ihvertfall et par ting, nemlig at EW, Electronic Warfare, er et særdeles viktig element i strategisk tenkning, samt at GPS er en så viktig del av navigasjonen at en har glemt dead reckoning. Det står ikke noe om hvor flyet landet, neppe Nord Korea. Ja, du husker kanskje den EP-3 Aries som Kina koste seg med i 2001? Bildet over viser maskinen etter at den var truffet av en Kinesisk F-8 som havarerte og flygeren omkom. Orion`en ble tatt fra hverandre, besetningen sendt hjem, senere fulgt av maskinen som ble fraktet i deler.

Report: N. Korea forced down U.S. military plane in March

Published: September 9, 2011
A U.S. military reconnaissance plane came under electronic attack from North Korea and had to make an emergency landing during a major military exercise in March, a South Korean political aide said Friday.
Agence France-Presse reported that Seoul's defense ministry said the plane suffered disturbance to its GPS system due to jamming signals from the North as it was taking part in the annual U.S.-South Korea drill Key Resolve.
Spokesmen for the defense ministry and U.S. Forces Korea declined to comment, according to AFP.
The report said the jamming signals forced the plane to land 45 minutes into its flight; affected South Korean naval patrol boats and civilian flights; interfered with mobile phones in Seoul; and caused military GPS devices to malfunction.
