Our assessment
If the reported claims hold, the handover and projected timeline for jam-resistant GPS M-code receivers may indicate intent to accelerate secure navigation capabilities relevant to semiconductor-based systems. A transition to M-code across up to a million devices by 2027 would require substantial supply-chain…
