It was in the news a while back, that the Russians were selling Iraq GPS jammers. Does anybody know anything about these? What sort of range do they have? Can they be selective so that only your enemies receivers are jammed? In this "smart bomb" era, I would think a network of GPS jammers that covers your cities and extends well out over your coastal borders would provide a pretty good safety unbrella for neutralizing a lot of expensive weopons the U.S. now employs. Could make GPS-guided missles the next "Maginot Line" type boo boo. If I was Commandant of the U.S. Naval Academy, it might make me re-think taking Celestial Navigation out of the cadets curriculum. -- Joe Shields 40d34' lat, 80d03' long
