America's GPS Satellite Targeted by China


Things you Need to Know!

China's military conducted the first test of an advanced anti-satellite missile on May 13, a significant step in Beijing's strategy of developing asymmetric military programs for use against the United States. The new DN-2 ASAT system could give the Chinese military the ability to "degrade or damage" the U.S. Global Positioning System(GPS).

Rick Fisher of the International Assessment and Strategy Center had this to say:

"This is not merely a threat against some American Military satellites, but a threat to what has become a vital part of the global electronic infrastructure, affecting global commerce and financial flows, to your personal finances that contribute to personal freedom."
