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
Why would they need to shut it down?
It needs constant corrections from the ground stations, and it only serves CONUS anyways.

Someones been watching Scott Manley. Very interesting video
What does it need to be shutdown for? Planes have backups anyways and it's also being phased out too
>What does it need to be shutdown for?
You really lack imagination and I think that you are an NPC.
Why would it need to be shutdown?

You're not answering the question
This stupid moron thinks cruise missiles can use commercial GPS
They can though
If your "missile" is a cardboard drone flying at 50mph then yeah. Good luck getting that into US airspace during a hot war.
>it can't happen here
The last time we had one of these cruise missiles versus US soft targets threads it got deleted.
Cocom limit is 600m/s, or about mach 1.8
Only if you have an unrestricted reciever. Otherwise it's about 200mph.
