The electromagnetic spectrum, including the ability to communicate with satellites and navigate, is becoming an ever-increasingly important domain in the military.

The world's leading military powers are working on their jamming capabilities to jam aircraft communications, including their access to GPS.

GPS signals on drones, fighter jets, commercial aircraft, missiles, and anything else can be spoofed and jammed.

GPS has a number of other issues than just jamming.

Xona Space Systems is developing a commercial PNT service through a constellation of low- Earth orbit satellites called Pulsar .

The US military is working with Xona on some uncrewed aircraft operations and other drones where precise navigation is critical.

Xona plans to launch first satellite in June 2025 on SpaceX's Transporter-14 rideshare mission.

The company plans to ramp up satellite launches in late 2026 , and the first stage of operational service in early 2027 .
