Just suppose that the GPS signal is also jammed and the critter doesn’t know where it is much less where “home” is.

I think gyros alone can get it close to home where communication can be re-established. Just guessing.

I’m sure they have a self contained navigation system that they can home too. Rarely do they sorely rely on GPS because it can be blocked.

Counting on GPS to always be there is a single point of failure kind of mistake. Ditto for assuming the satellite links will be there.
