So what happens when the Global Positioning System goes to La-La land. In any major conflict it would take very very little to render the whole system unuseable. Going by recent reports relating to Chinese computers and PLC's running the UK's and US's power distribution networks, what's the betting they are also being used to control the GPS satellites. One internet packet from Beijing and all the satellites switch off. What then?
