GAO Questions Long Term Stability of GPS Constellation
A Government Accountability Office report (pdf) released on May 7 suggests that if delays in putting new satellites into orbit continue the existing constellation may have enough failures in the next few years to limit its use for military and civilian uses.
The report is causing bit of pushback on the Obama administration's plans to shut down Loran-C. The concern is that GPS is supposed to be the state of the art navigation solution.
