The effort must include timelines for building and launching a full set of 24 GPS IIIF satellites and upgrading the ground control system, giving priority to the L5 signal for civilian and military use, and coordinating with the Defense and Transportation Departments. It must also include strategies to encourage critical infrastructure to reduce risks from GPS jamming and spoofing, and to speed up delivery of new military GPS receivers. The Secretary of Defense would report to Congress on progress, funding, and recommendations within 180 days and then yearly for up to three years.
