I think I understand what is being suggested here, but aren't military GPS signals encrypted? Wonder how difficult that would be to 'crack'?

I believe that extended accuracy info is encrypted. But if the signal-to-noise ratio is bad and it's getting garbage on the encrypted part but they were jamming it with viable coarse nav data, then the UAV just did the best it could with the data it had.

We are so far ahead we don't seem to be looking over our own shoulders.

That makes sense.

Having all the navigation eggs in that one basket doesn't.
