Right now, 12,500 miles above your head, a quiet, invisible system is keeping the modern world running. It's called GPS.
And if it goes dark—even briefly—civilization stutters. Maybe even stops.

A GPS Blackout Would Shut Down the World
GPS jamming and spoofing attacks are on the rise. If the global navigation system the US relies on were to go down entirely, it would send the world into unprecedented chaos.
