Yes, but my point was that the degraded GPS signal would affect the "off-the-shelf" GPS receiver's performance, and could make the GPS-guided UAV so unreliable that it might erroneously fly over to Saddams' palace and dump its load. Since they probably know that, it's probably a no-go for them using GPS for that application.

Why would the signal be degraded in peacetime when terrorists would launch a UAV laden with anthrax etc?
