2. I thought all the FAA radar and ATC sites are independent with radar processing done at each site - where does the author get the idea that they are all linked? Is there any proof of this?
from what i understand ARINC may have been able to control all the planes computers.

http://911review.org/Wiki/GPStesting.shtmlOn september, 10, 2001, the Departement of Transportation (DOT) released a rapport of the vulnerabilities of the GPS, due to interferences, the date is probably a hazard.
The rapport is very rich and some parts should be read with attention there

"... a single device that could disrupt military and civil operations worldwide would be attractive to malicious governments and groups" (page 43 in your reader)
"An attack on elements of US space systems during a crisis or conflict should not be considered an improbable act ... National leaders must assure that the vulnerability of the United States is reduced and that the consequences of a surprise attack on US space assets are limited in their effect" (page 44 in your reader) bischar

Report Cites Vulnerabilities of Global Navigation System
By MATTHEW L. WALD
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 — The Global Positioning System — which airlines plan to use to land flights in zero visibility, railroads want for avoiding train collisions and ships use to navigate shoals — is vulnerable to interference and even "spoofing" by enemies, the Transportation Department said today.

I'm accepting comments, complaints and criticisms.
I will send out the test plan and detailed schedule when they become available.

Heritage Security Report Urges GPS Changes
The Heritage Foundation, an influential conservative "think tank" in Washington, D.C., has issued a report on homeland security that urges inclusion of GPS in the nation's critical infrastructure and recommends creation of a national program office to operate the system with the Department of Defense (DoD) as the lead agency.
The report, issued in January, stems from the work of a task force headed by two former officials in the Reagan administration, Edwin Meese III and L. Paul Bremer III. Established in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks, the task force included a series of working groups who set forth a set of priorities and associated "key steps" for actions to improve homeland security. Meese was attorney general under Reagan and Bremer chaired a National Commission on Terrorism and served as ambassador at large for counterterrorism.

Subject: GPS constellation turned off?
I have been told that due to security reasons or military activities that the
U.S. DoD has desided to take out of service GPS SV4 and SV11 for unspecified
period. Do any of you know if more satellites are being taken out or have
been taken out? I understand that this situation is already causing an
80 minutes RAIM gap in Europe. Where on the net should I look
for the most up to date announchements on this subject?
