    It needs constant corrections from the ground stations, and it only serves CONUS anyways.

      WAAS is a cool as hell system though it's funny to see someone talk about it.

      Tldr is that corrections calculates by the ground stations are transmitted to receivers by extra satellites in GEO, bringing GPS errors down enough that you can do approaches equivalent to what would normally require localizer navigation and hardware at any airport in the US

    What does it need to be shutdown for? Planes have backups anyways and it's also being phased out too

      You really lack imagination and I think that you are an NPC.

            If your "missile" is a cardboard drone flying at 50mph then yeah. Good luck getting that into US airspace during a hot war.

              The last time we had one of these cruise missiles versus US soft targets threads it got deleted.

                Only if you have an unrestricted reciever. Otherwise it's about 200mph.
