On the open ocean, naval ships rely on navigation signals provided by the Global Positioning System (GPS) almost exclusively. The GPS satellite constellation, however, is increasingly vulnerable to disruptions and outages. This paper argues that, although the risk is low, the possibility exists that future operating conditions will force the U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM) combatant commander to operate in a GPS denied environment, and he should make adjustments in his maritime planning to compensate for this critical vulnerability. Specifically, analysis using operational factors examines the problem and determines how GPS unavailability at sea affects the PACOM combatant commander's ability to accomplish his military objectives. This paper then provides several recommendations to mitigate the risk of operating in a GPS denied environment within the PACOM maritime domain. If the PACOM commander incorporates these recommendations into his operational planning, he will reduce potential friction within friendly forces and obtain conditions most favorable to successfully meeting his military objectives while operating in a GPS denied environment.
