Here's the problem, as I see it.
When you say "almost all aircraft" I guess you mean to include only commercial passenger jets and business jets? BECAUSE, that is not how your phrase reads.
But, your misinformation is evident, in any regard, because you have taken what was linked regarding GPS, and the simple fact that there is ongoing design and testing to confirm the plausibility of relying on the GPS in lieu of the conventional ground-based systems that are currently in use.
That is ALL those articles are describing.
The FAA conducts extensive studies of this sort to confirm the reliability and safety of any new system, or method, or technology BEFORE writing legislation that approves their use in normal aviation operations.
Attacking me by claiming that what I contribute is "laughable" reflects very poorly on your credibility, not mine.
Because, I happen to know what I'm talking about.
I agree that you know a fair amount weedwhacker, but have you considered the possibility that the military was using cutting edge technology to carry this out? Surely you know that they don't require FAA studies in order to test drive their stuff. And what better day to do so then a day of "War Games", where it could be expected that cutting edge technologies might be 'tried out'.
