UK military jamming other nations' satellites to defend itself, BBC told

The UK’s reported use of satellite jamming underscores that space-based services are now a contested part of critical infrastructure, with direct business risk to GPS, communications, banking, logistics, and emergency response. For CIOs and technology leaders, the strategic takeaway is that dependence on satellites creates a material resilience and continuity challenge: IT organizations should treat space disruption like any other cyber-physical threat and plan for service degradation, fallback connectivity, and operational recovery. The creation of dedicated military space-defense units also signals that interference in orbit will likely become more frequent and sophisticated, increasing the need for cross-functional risk management and government-grade threat intelligence.
