I have been thinking about this alot, and one of the last major programs that I worked on while in the Air Force was a GPS system. I guess only time will tell, but I sort of doubt that anything will change. Selective Availability was a logistical nightmare, and if the war starts sometime after 6 pm tomorrow, there really isn't enough time for the troops to get back up to speed on it. Not that they are not capable, but there would be alot of "ground work" that would have to be done first. As I said, we will most likely know tomorrow, but I am not really sure how someone like Iraq would be able to use the signal against us, we already know that they have bought a number of signal jammers to try and lead our weapons off target, but I doubt that they have any weapons that are GPS guided. This is of course speculation, but we should know within the next 24 hours or so. In liberty, Scott wood@myblueheaven.com www.myblueheaven.com
