Most American military EMP hardening requirements were relaxed in the late 1990’s.

Most radios and vehicles prodiced since then do not have the same levels of designed in EMP protection as 1980’s equipment.

The majority of the commerical off the shelf electroncs adapted to the US military’s “Battle field internet” during the Global War on Terrorism are not EMP protected.

Not to get in the middle, but: GPS is susceptible to interference by a hostile entity. As has been demonstrated recently by China. The One proposes to eliminate LORAN, totally. Does it make sense to have all your aids in one basquet?
The $3xM to run LORAN is peanuts, but is touted as “significant budget cuts” blah de blah.
Am I missing something? Is there another GPS system in the wings, ready to take over?
