US Space Force GPS strategy faces a hard trade off between resilient satellites and a hardened Arctic base. This video explains why Resilient GPS ended and why Pitufik now dominates space defence planning.

This video examines a strategic decision inside the US Space Force with global implications. GPS underpins navigation, logistics, finance, and power systems, yet its architecture relies on a small set of high value satellites exposed to jamming, spoofing, and attack. The Resilient GPS programme aimed to offset this exposure through a dispersed network of smaller satellites. Contracts moved forward quickly, then funding stopped in 2026. Attention shifted north to Pitufik Space Base in Greenland, formerly Thule Air Base. The base anchors missile warning, space surveillance, Arctic presence, and NORAD response. Budget pressure forced a choice between future resilience and immediate readiness. Investment moved toward protecting an irreplaceable physical stronghold rather than expanding a new satellite layer. The decision signals how present day defence priorities now shape space architecture choices.
