The title says GPS, but the article explains that they are doing multi-constellation jamming, which affects several GNSS systems.
Most GNSS receivers you can buy use multiple systems anyway.
- throw0101d 2y ago> Most GNSS receivers you can buy use multiple systems anyway. While receivers can handle the signals of multiple GNSS signals, it may not be legal to do so. In the US, the FCC only allows GPS and Galileo: * https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-approves-galileo-global-navigation-system-0 https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-approves-galileo-global-nav... Other systems, and their frequencies, are not a priority for the FCC and so aren't approved for use. Not sure how it works in other jurisdictions, but this may effect things in equipment that has to be certified to certain standards (like aviation equipment needs to be certified).

What The FCC wants is to know if the chips are implemented in a way that makes them vulnerable to exploits. If GPS and GALILEO signals are jammed or weak, GLONASS and BeiDou can be used to submit false information and cause chaos. I think it should be possible to turn them off at least.
