US Military GPS Satellites Threatened by Chinese Lasers, Jammers: Space Force General U.S. Space Force (USSF) Chief of Space Operations Gen. John W. “Jay” Raymond told Congress that Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites used by the U.S. military are threatened by lasers and electronic jammers built by China and Russia. Speaking to lawmakers at the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee on May 7, Raymond and Air Force officials testified that the U.S. military must act quickly and with urgency to combat China’s military buildup, which they say is posing a major challenge for the Space Force. Both Russia and China are swiftly manufacturing space weapons capable of engaging in “robust jamming of GPS and communications satellites.” The weapons are also designed to direct energy systems that can “blind, disrupt, or damage our satellites,” Raymond said.
