The GPS Resiliency Report Act requires the Secretary of Defense to deliver a comprehensive report to Congress within one year examining vulnerabilities in the Global Positioning System (GPS) and related positioning and timing services. The report must address risks from GPS disruptions during potential conflicts involving the United States or attacks on allies, assess how rival nations like China and Russia could degrade U.S. GPS access, and evaluate current military efforts to develop backup systems using space-based and ground-based technology. The legislation also requires the Pentagon to outline a plan for building a full-scale ground-based GPS backup system that could be operational within 15 years and to assess whether the Space Force's Resilient GPS program can achieve full capacity within 10 years. The report will be submitted in unclassified form to key congressional committees responsible for defense, intelligence, and homeland security, though it may include classified details. This bill affects military planners, national security officials, and U.S. allies who depend on GPS services, and reflects growing concerns about America's vulnerability to GPS jamming or interference by adversaries during wartime.
