Former Pentagon space policy official Marc J. Berkowitz warns that the U.S. has lost its leadership in space-based positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT), affecting both critical infrastructure and military operations. The aging GPS constellation remains vulnerable to jamming and spoofing, posing security risks. Berkowitz stresses the urgent need to deploy GPS IIIF satellites, which feature enhanced encryption and anti-jam capabilities. While the U.S. Space Force’s Resilient-GPS program aims to strengthen navigation with smaller satellites, Berkowitz argues it may not fully counter cyber and electronic warfare threats. The analysis underscores growing concerns over U.S. space security and military readiness.

The report, authored by former Italian prime minister Mario Draghi, also notes that EU member states are not sufficiently leveraging Europe’s research and development capacities for military modernization. European defense spending is far behind that of the U.S., hindering the development of stronger domestic defense firms. This issue has become more urgent as the EU struggles to provide sufficient arms and ammunition to support Ukraine in its ongoing […]

The administration argues that the restriction puts American businesses at a competitive disadvantage. The move is expected to spark debate over corporate ethics and international business practices.
