Are they? The whole article was about the inertial guidance system. Seems like conflicts don't take GPS-like systems as a given. Ground to Air guidance systems use similar systems, as well as data fed by the launch site until they're close enough to their targets to lock onto things like heat signatures, etc.

Obviously those satellites will be vulnerable in a conflict, so there would have to be a way to rapidly replace combat losses. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/42487/e-7-wedgetail-radar-jets-eyed-as-a-bridge-to-a-space-based-system-by-air-force https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/42487/e-7-wedgetail-ra...
