The End of GPS Reliability Is Reshaping Modern Combat StrategyAINewsWire Editorial Coverage : Satellite positioning has long served as the invisible backbone of military operations, underpinning everything from guided munitions to autonomous drone navigation, but that confidence is now fracturing. Across active combat theatres, navigation signals are being systematically jammed, spoofed and degraded at scale, turning one of warfare’s most relied-upon tools into one of its most exploitable vulnerabilities. Drones lose orientation, missions fail mid-flight, and entire system architectures collapse in electronically hostile conditions, prompting defense establishments worldwide to urgently seek alternatives capable of signal-free, satellite-independent operation. Into that gap, SPARC AI Inc. (OTC: SPAIF) ( Profile ) has introduced its software-based Overwatch platform, which enables unmanned systems to navigate and acquire targets in GPS-denied environments without any hardware modifications, a faster-to-deploy, more scalable alternative to the hardware-intensive solutions that currently dominate the sector.
