GPS Resiliency Report Act

The GPS Resiliency Report Act would require the Secretary of Defense to prepare and submit, within one year of enactment, a comprehensive report on risks to the Global Positioning System (GPS) and related positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services. The report must analyze risks in scenarios such as conflict involving the United States or an attack on U.S. allies, assess how allies could be affected by disruptions to GPS/PNT, and evaluate adversaries’ ability to degrade or deny U.S. access to GPS. It also requires a review of current DoD efforts to create or acquire redundant PNT capabilities (including space-based and terrestrial-based options and quantum sensing technologies) and an assessment of the Space Force’s Resilient Global Positioning System (R-GPS) program—specifically its ability to achieve full capacity within 10 years. Furthermore, the bill asks for a framework to develop a full-scale terrestrial-based GPS redundancy system that could be operational within 15 years. The report would be submitted in unclassified form, with a potential classified annex, and would involve key congressional committees. Definitions clarify who counts as “appropriate committees of Congress” and who qualifies as a U.S. ally (including NATO members, major non-NATO allies, and Taiwan).
